BPs Adams + Brewer, Speaker Johnson, Comptroller Stringer: We Need to Invest in Ranked Choice Voting NOW

City officials come together to pledge commitment to new voting reform

NEW YORK, NY (02/11/2020) (readMedia)-- Four leading city officials will come together to pledge their shared commitment to investing in voter education and outreach about Ranked Choice Voting ahead of the 2021 elections.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams

Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer

City Council Speaker Corey Johnson
