Ms. Khan, has some Decent ideas and Policies, has lived in the District for 20 Years and a Member of C.B.# 2.
Unlike MCC Who just Moved to Sunnyside less than a Year ago, Has No Policies, and is a Republican who’s Pretending to be Democratic?? Who Lived in Trump Towers for 20 years and Got an Endorsement from the NEW YORK POST, Today???
MCC’s been MIA all her Life from the 14th District!
At Least Ms. Khan came across Very Professional, Caring, Competent! Good Luck to you!!✌

Always judge people by how they treat people who are serving them. I ran across her while picking up my prescription at CVS on 41st Street. She was rude and mean to the cashier. If you’re this nasty to a worker then I don’t trust you to look out for the working class.

She will take votes from Michelle and they both will lose to AOC. Michelle has the best chance

Very true. I like AOCs campaign commercial. Its constantly on tv. So is her campaigns commercial against Michelle. Both very clear and to the point. Well done.

Kahn won’t get many votes, but may cut into AOCs portion.

Try running for local positions next time.

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
