Recognizing that success at the grassroots level requires developing strong early support, we are pioneering the DFNYC Early Candidate Endorsement process. It is reserved for candidates who are active members of DFNYC, and unique in their long-term commitment to the ideals, progressive grass roots activism, and dedication to the principles of DFNYC. These three candidates perfectly fill the qualifications.

I know all three of these candidates and consider them excellent choices. They bring more honesty and integrity to NYC politics that just about anyone I have met. Seems to me we could use a HELL of a lot more honesty and integrity in NYC politics and these folks are a good start to doing that.
