New York, N.Y. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer endorsed Ben Kallos for City Council in CD5 today, citing his commitment to good government and thoughtful ideas to move the Upper East Side forward. Senator Schumer joins prominent Democratic officials Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, State Senator Liz Krueger, Councilwoman Jessica Lappin, Assembly Member Dan Quart, State Senator Jose Serrano, Democratic Nominee for Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and many other trailblazing progressives in strongly supporting Ben Kallos for the seat. 

“I look forward to having Ben as a partner in government. As founder of the NY Democratic Law Students Council, he’ll be a strong advocate for voting rights and community involvement in important decision making. His political skills and passion for improving quality of life for all New Yorkers will be great assets to the City Council,” said Assemblyman Wright.
