ABOUT THE VOTER GUIDE

 

This official nonpartisan Voter Guide is produced by the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB) to help New Yorkers make informed choices at the polls. The CFB creates an online Guide for every city election. This Guide lists all the candidates who are expected to be on the ballot at the time of publication.

 

The profiles and photos in this Guide were submitted to the CFB by the candidates, all of whom have affirmed that the information provided is true to the best of their knowledge. The views expressed in the candidate statements do not represent those of the CFB.

 

 This badge will appear if a candidate is participating in the NYC Campaign Finance Program, which helps candidates rely on New York City residents—not special interests—to fund their campaigns.

 

Note: Any candidate running for municipal office (mayor, comptroller, public advocate, borough president, and city council) may join the program.
