Dear Fellow Member of the Crown Heights Chabad community,
We want to begin by thanking the community for doing its part and coming out to vote. We had a turnout that was 7 times higher than usual in past local elections. The turnout in the Crown Heights Jewish community surprised the left and sent a message to local elected officials that the Jewish community of Crown Heights stands united and we will fight to protect our community and interests. We will know the exact numbers of votes our community turned out in this election within the month, once the election results are certified.
Thank you to all the volunteers each and to every voter who took the time to go out and vote to save our shchuna.
At this stage, it appears that Eric Adams will be the next Mayor of New York. Crown Heights was the first Jewish community to endorse him, and he has expressed his appreciation publicly.
Here is an update as to the status of the race for the 35th Council District. As of today, Crystal Hudson has 38.49% of the votes, and Michael Hollingsworth has 34.45% of votes. Crystal is currently in the lead by 1291 votes. These results consist of voters’ first-choice votes, and only those that were cast in-person. Absentee ballots and the process of counting 2nd and third choices has not yet begun. We are still optimistic that the election results will be positive.
Members of the DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) are already posting threatening tweets about the election. They are attacking our community for voting and accusing us of being enemies masquerading as democrats.
The battle to protect Crown Heights has just begun. We need to continue to mobilize and expand our numbers. The first step would be to have every single resident who is eligible to register to vote.
Our strength is in numbers and achdus. Only together can we accomplish and protect the shchuna and our families.
The first step would be to have every single resident who is eligible to register to vote. For those who are registered, you need to make sure that you are registered as a democrat.

Excellent job to the new Crown Heights PAC. Thank you for coming together and volunteering your time for the greater good. Looking forward to bigger and better..
We appreciate you!
We did great. But it took a literal fire under the council’s … to get them to do this. They were faced for the first time with a candidate who in addition to being evil and actively interested in hurting us G-d forbid refused to give them a seat at the table. What good is being a community representative to the gov when the gov wont even speak to you. So they did the needful. And we are probably for the first time on a political map. That it took so long was complete malpractice. But we can do take… Read more »
Zal, high school and seminary should have a class on politics, and after the class get all the students who are over 18 to sign up
Thank you to the organizers for all your hard work!
We have much more in common with traditional Democratic values than the anti-Semites fighting against us.
Adams is a politician where is Sliwa is an activist. Sliwa wants to see safer streets for the citizens Adams wants to see less police I know which one I would want
1000x correct. Sliwa bled for Jews in the ’91 riots. Oh, poor, short-memoried citizens of Crown Heights, there is no Democrat in the country who isn’t a socialist-commie. It is suicide to vote for anyone but Curtis Sliwa.
