Jeannine Kiely is running to confront the affordability crisis head-on, expand and improve housing, strengthen New York’s public education system, and defend our state from the attacks coming from the Donald Trump administration. Her record shows she delivers on her promises. 

Jeannine co-founded New York’s first two district public schools for students with dyslexia, fought for major gains in affordable housing across the district and led the Community Board 2 response to the redesign of Canal Street with a focus on improving the initial plan and solving its lack of accessibility. She’s the kind of fighter this community has learned to trust. 

As both a Democratic District Leader and former chair of Manhattan Community Board 2, she’s proven her commitment to this district for decades. Now, she’s ready to be our champion in Albany. https://www.jeanninekiely.com/.
