GIGI LI FOR CITY COUNCIL
I’m running for city council because we need proven leadership — I have spent my life in Lower Manhattan, working to build a better community for everyone as a community leader, social worker, public servant, and mom. I fought for and won Universal Pre-K for NYC, co-founded the Community First Food Pantry, and served Lower Manhattan as chair of Community Board 3. I have a record of achieving meaningful change and I’m ready to lead on the daunting challenges we face today. / Sponsored
