Eric Ulrich, who is running for Public Advocate in a special election on Tuesday, has already begun a key component of the job: Hearing from local residents.
The New York City Councilman who is on the ballot tomorrow spent a few precious minutes before election day to walk the streets of the Crown Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn and chat with citizens.
His tour follows a meeting and a public endorsement of his candidacy by a group of Lubavitcher residents of Crown Heights, as reported on COLlive.com.
“It is important that the Crown Heights Jewish community join forces with our fellow brothers and sisters in those communities to elect a true mentch, and supporter for issues that really affect our community,” some of those who welcomed him said.
Ulrich, who has been endorsed by the NY Daily News and the NY Post, highlighted his support for the community in the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks, objection to the NY Department of Education interfering with the education and curriculum within our Yeshivas, and his support for Israel and against the BDS movement.
“Given how many candidates there are, one only needs to get the most votes to win. With an extremely low turn out expected citywide, a community like Crown Heights can make all the difference,” says Avi Lesches, a resident.
Polls are open Tuesday from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. To find out if you are registered, visit https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov. To find your polling station, visit https://nyc.pollsitelocator.com/search.
He has his scences & ideology in The Right place
You can possibly call the board of election or just go to location where you would vote and see if they have you on record already.
Does it matter what party, a person is registered under?
i just registered online , it says i will be notified when complete. can i still vote tomorrow?
That’ll determine whether people have finally decided to wake up and start caring.
If you complain about things but don’t vote (i.e. the השתדלות), do you really believe in Hashem?… Hmmm….
And that is: VOTE!
You just have to be registered to vote. You walk in and give your name and address. It’s simple.
If yes, what do you do about it?
As a result, I vote in elections.
Talk is cheap.
Action means you care.
What ID do you need to bring to vote tomorrow?
Every single elegible voter must register – that includes the HUNDREDS of girls & bucharim who learn out of town or are on Shlichos but who can vote thru Absentee Ballots When your kids come home for Pesach, get them registered .. With a little bit of caring and planning, Crown Heights could become a legitimate voting block & THAT is where the power is !!! Other communities provide rides to the polls to encourage everyone to vote – Can we please get our act together and stop kvetching ?!?
Why does this post have 0 comments but when something happens you have 300 comments saying “oy vey why isn’t anything being done”. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! Go Vote tomorrow (Tuesday). If he doesn’t win and you didn’t vote then don’t come crying later.
Maybe we’ll FINALLY have someone to speak up for us!
This is your chance to DO something about the situation.
VOTE TOMORROW!
If you don’t vote, don’t complain later!
