28th City Council District

1. What is the most important issue in Council District 28 you would address if elected?

Bring economic development and jobs to our community. Help small business owners improve their businesses; Focus on education and job training for youth; Improve our quality of life and environment; Seniors and cultural programs.

2. What other important issues would you address if elected?

While the 28th district's demographic profile has been diversified with increasing immigrants, housing and building issues have surfaced as one of the concerns within our district. Homeowners with heavy tax burdens deserve better services from the City; about 43% of district residents are tenants looking for affordable housing.

3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?

In these uncertain economic times, the 28th Council District deserves a Council Member with experience, one who knows his way around City Hall, one who will be ready from day one to assume the enormous mantle of leadership and responsibility. This person is Allan Jennings. Allan Jennings has a proven history of funding our schools, after-school and athletic programs. He held yearly job fairs at York College which resulted in hundreds of jobs for our constituents. He provided $7.5 million for laptop for every child in the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th grade in our district elementary schools. Councilman Jennings also took exceptional care of our seniors by funding every senior center in the district. Finally and most importantly, he sponsored and passed into law many important bills benefiting to our community, specifically Intro 142 which prohibits racial and ethnic profiling by NYC police. Allan Jennings is a tireless worker whose District Office was famous for its late hours and its precise way it always served the community. There is only one clear choice for the 28th Council District: This choice is someone with experience, with history of helping our community. THIS CHOICE IS ALLAN JENNINGS.
