More on Council Member Ben Kallos

Manhattan Borough President Candidate and New York City Council Member Ben Kallos has been praised by the New York Times for his “fresh ideas” and elected in 2013. He grew up in Manhattan with a single-mother and his grandparents, who fled anti-Semitism in Europe. In the Council he Co-Chairs the Progressive Caucus where he has taken on corruption by authoring laws to eliminate outside income, lulus, and to get big money out of politics through a new public matching campaign finance system. Having refused money from corporations, lobbyists, and real estate developers he has taken on overdevelopment of buildings for billionaires winning rezonings to protect affordable housing throughout the city. He even authored the law to put hundreds of thousands of affordable homes back on the market for low- and middle-income New Yorkers. As a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, he believes in public education having secured more than 1,000 pre-kindergarten seats and authored legislation to force the city to build more school seats including 824 in his district. As Co-Chair of the East River Esplanade Taskforce with Congress Member Carolyn Maloney he has secured $275 million to rebuild a resilient waterfront. In addition to cleaning up government, he’s cleaned up the district with a new large covered trash can on every corner. His office is open and transparent, with constituents invited to vote on how to spend one million dollars on local projects in the district as well as to join him in a conversation on the First Friday of each month, or he will go to them for “Ben In Your Building.” Learn more at Kallos.nyc.
