Letter from Laurie

Dear Friend,
As a freshman Member of the New York City Council, I am proud to announce that Tuesday marked the end of a successful and progressive year. From universal Pre-K and paid sick leave to the passage of a balanced budget that invested critical funding into the revitalization of communities across this city, we have made great strides to address the issues that impact New Yorkers each and every day.
We have listened to your concerns and have acted collectively to pass bills that will improve the quality of life for all men, women, and children who call this city home. With your support and continued advocacy, we will continue to move towards a more unified city and state.
In 2015, I look forward to propelling this district forward by securing additional resources to bolster our schools, community organizations, and small businesses.
On behalf of my staff and I, have a happy, healthy, and safe new year.
Yours in Partnership,
Laurie A. Cumbo
Member of the New York City Council
