Welcome to the
1991 City Council General Election
Voter Guide
This is an important election year for all Ne\V '{orkers.
Recent changes in the City Charter, approved in 1989 by the
voters, have increased the nu1nher of City Council districts
fro1n 35 to 51. The purpose of the redistricting \Vas to 1nake
the City Council more representative of the City's rnany
diverse con1munities. This n1eans that this year you will he
electing a Council member for a different and smaller district.
The new Charter, among other things, also gave the City
Council greater powers over the City's budget and land use.
These changes 111ake it even 1nore important that voters
have the chance to tnake inforn1ed choices about \vho their
City Council representatives will be.
This Voter Guide is intended to do just that. ll is an
i1npartial source of information about the Council candidates,
puhlished hy the New York City Campaign Finance Board.
an independent, non-partisan Ne\v '{ ork City agency. This
edition of the Voter Guide is being 1nailed to voters for the
November 5 General Election. The Ca1npaign Finance Board
sent a previous edition to voters for the ~ptc1nher 12th
pri1naiy elections.
In addition to producing the Voter Guide. the Catnpaign
Finance Board administers Ne\v York City's Ca111paign
Finance Program. The Prograrn has several important goals:
to lessen the influence of big money on local ele<.."tions: to
control ca1npaign spending; to give serious candidates a fair
chance to n1n for public office; and to provide voters \Vith
rnore and hetter infonnation about candidates' campaign
finances than ever l">efore. You can read 1nore about the
Progran1 in the "N.Y.C. Ca1npaign Finance Progran1" section
of this Guide.
The Voter Guide was first puhlished for New York City's
1989 nlunicipal elections and \Vas \videly prJised for giving
voters infonnation they need to choose their elected officials.
We at the Campaign Finance Board helieve that the 1991
Voter Guide will help y0 u better understand who is seeking
your vote and why.

Council 111e1nhers are usually elected !O 4-year 1en11s. 1he last

FINANCE PROGRAM
"Less Money, More Infonnation"'
This year Ne\v '{orkers are choosing nc\\' City Council

1nc1nbers. It \Viii he a very in1portant election 1-x:cause the City
Council has nc\V po\vers. These po\vers include po\vcrs over
the Ne\\' York City budget and over hO\\' land is used in Ne'''
York City. 111e Ne\V 'i'ork City Can1paign Finance Progr:un heirs
ensure that voters in this City have co1npetitive, de1nocr.1tic local
clections to choose City officials.
In ~1 nut'ihell, the Ca1npaign Finance ProgrJn1 is about having
less n1oney and 111ore infonnation involved in City t!h:ctions.
"l.cs..-> n1oney'' means decreasing the influence of big 1noney
and special (ntcrests on candidates. Candidates \vho choose to
join the voluntary Progr.1111 niust li1nit the size of contributions
they accept and \i1nit the an1ount of n1oney they spend on the
elections. 111ese li111iL'i help ensure that c~1nditbtes do not accept
large an1ou!1lS of 1noney ju:-;t fron1 a fe\v \vealthy people or
groups.
"ti..1ore infonnation" 111cans 1naking 1nore infonnation avail-
able to voters about \vho is paying for candidates' can1paigns.
Candidates \Vho participate in the Can1paign Finance Progr:1111
file detailed public reports. TI1ese report..; give infonnation alXJtH
contributors to the candidates' ca1npaigns, and they sho\v the
voters ho\V 1nuch 1noney the ca.ndidates have been given by
those conuibutors, and ho\v 1nuch the candidates have spent on
their can1paigns. l11e reports are 1nade public by the Board, and
candidates' ca1npaigns are audited by the Board, so that the
public and prcs...., can kno\\' exactly \Vho i.s giving \Vhat to \Vhon1.
This Voter'Guide is another \Vay in \vhich ''.n1ore infonnation"
ahout the candidates is now available to voters through the
Ca1npaign Finance Bo<1rd.
By joining the Progra1n, candidates are telling Ne\v York
voters that the'f support fairer, niore open, and 1nore de1nocratic
local elections free fro111 the influence of big n1oney. In return
for n1nning their can1paigns under the Progra1n's rules, candi-
dates can also receive public funds thal match s1nall contribu-
tions they receive fro1n Ne\\' York City rCsidenL.;. The 1natching
funds 1nakc it easier for citizens \Vho are active in their
con11nunities hut \vho don't have connections to \Vealthy
contributors, or \\'ho are not \\'ealthy then1selves, to n1n for
public ofl1ce. It also 1nakes sn1aller contributions fron1 a larger
nu1nher of local residents n1ore i1nportant to candidates.
For this year's City Council can1paigns, candidates \vho have
joined the Ca1npaign Finance Progra111 can accept no 1nore than
$3,000 from any one supporter for the whole can1paign,
including the Pri1nary anQ. General Elections. TI1ey can spend
only S105,000 for the Gener.ii Election. Contributions fro1n Ne'v
York City residents can he matched up 10 Sl,000. Loans and
contributions fron1 organizations or non-residents are not

J believe the district needs leadership to direct the forces

Kno\ving that a district is n1ade up of chun.:hes, synagogues,
1nosques, tc1nples. social & charitable organizations, pro-

With budget pressures forcing the City to cut back on

service delivery, it is critical that \\'e send a representative to
City Hall that has the experience to get the most for our
neighborhoods. Communities such as Jackson Heights,
Ehnhurst, Corona 1-Ieight<; and 'X'oodside represent the
backtx>ne of 1niddle class Ne\v York. We cannot allo\v the
hon1eo\\'ners, tenants and coop d\vellcrs of QuecnS to bear
the bn1nt of the tax burden and S\\'allo\v painful service cuts.
I have spent years \vorking to ensure that the City
bureaucracy pay attention to the quality of life concerns of rny
ncighbors. 111is includes: focusing police attention on bur
glaries. auto thefts and graffiti; 1naking n1ass transit a more
palatable exrericnce and; securing 1nillions of dollars in

govern111ent of the City of Nc\V York.
Th~ unchallenged one-party syste1n \Vhich has festen.:J in
our City is the single 1110."1 influential factor in the decline of
the qu:11ity of life for 1niddle class Nl'\\' Yorkers.
Unchecked liberJI policies have created a pennanent
underclass of citizens, increasing at a pace that outstrips the
ability' of taxpayers to sup1x>rt it. While City officials, ho\vever
legiti1nately, lament the plight of the less fortunate, they have
abandoned their obligation to the backbone of our society.
My ability to \Vork directly \Vith Senator !vtaltcsc and the

Before the City can expect its ...vorking an<l 1niddle class to
give their tax c.lollars in support of its often failed "progran1s",
the Cily must 1nect i1s basic obligation lo provide sccurit)' for

lain a candidate to serve all our citizens, not just one group
or one area. I a111 not a newcon1er; i'Vt' lived hert' for over
thirty yt'ars. I recognizt' the unique characteristics of our
neighborhoods.
As Chair of the Queens County Democratic Con11nittee
since 1972 and designee of the Queens County J)e1nocratic
Org;1nization for this district, I know that tht' real importance
of conununity is the word UNl'IY \Vithin.
I care about EI)t.:CATION. Our district \\'ill continue to
depend on public education and the vitality of our schools is
imponant. I believe that our schools n1ust not only educate
our young, but also teach them leadership and responsibiliry.
I suppon keeping the schools open after three o'clock for
activities that will provide creative ways to utilize talenL..,,
settle disputt'S and provide alternatives to violence.
I care about SENIORS. Senior citizens need to be spared
fro1n choosing between adequate nutrition and medication.
They deserve both. I \\'ill fight to preserve and expand Senior
Centers and will urge legislation to increase n1entoring and
foster grandparent pnlgrams.
I care about COMMUNJlY. I \Viii fight for a "fair share" of
resources for our comn1unities. And I know tlu11 many areas
have done their fair share of accepting social progra1ns and
should no\v he given supfX>I1 for those progf"..Hns.
I am an AJ)VOCATE. Fron1 Laurelton to Howard Beach,
from the Rockaways to Rosedale, I will fight for decent,
affordable housing that addresses the need" of our con1mu-
nities.
I seek your vote and pledge that 1ny campaign will only
travel the "high road" of inregrity, honesty and fair play. And
1nost of all, I will he accountable to the citizens I am seeking
to represent.
