Growing up in Bed Stuy, my community didn\u2019t have much in terms of resources, but we always had each other&#8217;s backs. Time and again, I\u2019ve seen our communities in Brooklyn come together under a common cause to look out for each other when the government ignored our struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a kid, our neighbors provided each other with food when government food aid didn&#8217;t come through. I\u2019ve worked with mutual aid groups who fed people during the COVID pandemic when the government turned their backs on them. After St. Mary\u2019s Hospital closed, I worked with the community to set up a health clinic to fill the gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the kind of experience I&#8217;m going to bring to Borough Hall. As Borough President, <em><strong>I&#8217;ll dedicate myself to leveling the playing field for all of Brooklyn by redefining what the Borough President does.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>ONE STOP SHOP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve seen a wealth of resources go to waste because people either don\u2019t know they exist, don\u2019t know they qualify, or they are too hard to navigate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Borough President, I\u2019ll create a one-stop-shop to help people take advantage of all the programs that city, state, and federal government have to offer. I&#8217;ll create a dedicated <em><strong>Small Business Resource Center<\/strong><\/em> to help our small businesses get back on their feet. I&#8217;ll help people with navigating the public school system, applying for government services, and buying &#8212; and staying in &#8212; their homes. <em><strong>I\u2019ll also send a Mobile Borough Hall to communities across Brooklyn to bring these resources to every neighborhood.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than that, I&#8217;m interested in helping people improve their financial literacy by providing all the needed information on <a href=\"https:\/\/15mfinance.com\/blog\/can-i-get-a-payday-loan-in-another-state\/\">how to get a payday loan in another state<\/a>, borrow responsibly, consolidate debt, and create an emergency fund to overcome hard times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve had enough pageantry and politicking in Borough Hall. I&#8217;m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>THE DATA DOESN\u2019T LIE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Government doesn\u2019t allocate resources fairly. Whether it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/education\/curriculum-standards-school-funding\/school-funding.html\">school funding<\/a>, transportation, healthcare, or anything else, we know who gets left behind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>As Borough President, I\u2019ll track, map, and publicize where the government spends our money to show the inequities<\/strong><\/em>. I\u2019ll identify investments that level the playing field and deploy Borough Hall\u2019s considerable financial resources to fund them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Borough Hall will arm community activists and organizations with data so we can hold the government accountable for decades of neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best solutions to our problems come from the people working on the ground to make our communities better.&nbsp; As Borough President, I\u2019ll push for governance from the ground up where the government has let us down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>I will support the community organizations who are doing the work that the government has failed to do<\/strong><\/em>. We need to put an end to trickle-down governance, and embrace leadership from the bottom up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yours truly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"179\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kimcouncil4brooklyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/kim_20signature_edited.webp\" alt=\"Kim\" class=\"wp-image-40\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c628f006ffcf27a10bc69f461838438a\" style=\"min-height:272px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-black-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u00a9 2025 by\u00a0 Kim Council for Brooklyn.
