The general election this year is on Tuesday, Nov. 2.
Meng noted that she also threw her support behind Lynn Schulman in the tilt for Council District 29, which includes Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Rego Park, Richmond Hill.
“All three of these outstanding and dynamic candidates are long-time advocates who for years have worked to improve their communities, and I’m so excited that they’ll now continue doing so as members of the City Council,” Meng added. “Their candidacies are historic and they are committed to improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods and throughout our borough, and I cannot wait to work with them on the many critical issues facing Queens and New York City.”
