NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson | In Council District 3, Corey Johnson has brought people together to achieve many long-sought community goals, including the creation of the first new public park in East Chelsea in decades, the creation and preservation of thousands of units of affordable housing and the saving of Hartley House, a 121-year-old community services center. He believes elected officials should always be fighting to do the most good for the people who need it most, and will never stop working to make life better for all New Yorkers.
