On Tuesday, our incredible team brought energy and vision to the streets of AD50.
And we *overwhelmingly* won Greenpoint, the north side of Williamsburg, and Clinton Hill / Navy Yard.

That's exactly where *thousands* of absentee ballots were requested.
Now we wait.
Both for accurate/updated numbers on how many ballots the @BOENYC receives back and whether the process for counting them will be transparent and fair. #counteveryvote

We’ve heard @BOENYC won’t start counting these ballots until July 1 at the earliest. They’re due to release a plan soon.
But remember, they were weeks late in telling us where people could vote early. https://twitter.com/em4assembly/status/1265387830735523842

We’ve made it this far—against the most expensive Assembly campaign in New York—because of people who volunteered their time and money (about $40 on average).

And we’re likely going to need a little of your time too.
The process of counting absentee ballots will be public. And we need folks to be there to monitor.
We don’t yet know exactly what that will look like but sign up here for updates. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/absentee-observer-sign-up/

In the meantime, thank you.
For everything.
This has been a collective effort from day one. And it will continue to be. It's the only way we'll build a better future together.
