Over the past two Fridays, hundreds of anash came out in front of House of Glatt on Kingston Avenue and Crown Street in Crown Heights to support the Assembly campaign of Ahron Gluck for New York State Assembly district 43.
Over the past two Fridays, hundreds of anash came out in front of House of Glatt on Kingston Avenue and Crown Street in Crown Heights to support the Assembly campaign of Ahron Gluck, who recently announced his candidacy for the New York State Assembly district 43, which covers Crown Heights and part of East Flatbush. Residents signed the petition and volunteered to help get a member of anash and a resident of the shchunah on the ballot.
Residents thanked Gluck for taking the bold, unpopular, but much needed step by running for elected office to help our neighborhood, and thanked him for showing that our voice matters and our community matters.
The momentum and excitement in Crown Heights over the past two weeks, with the realistic possibility of electing one of our own, is something unprecedented that the community has never experienced.
To vote for Ahron Gluck in the Democratic primary, you must be registered as a Democrat:

How many signatures is needed to appear on the ballot?
500 signatures are needed, but generally getting more is better since some ballots will be contested.
Let’s hope a DSA candidate runs so the vote will be split in three.
If no DSA candidate runs, I am certain Mayor Mandani will return the favor from Cunningham endorsing him early on in Mayor’s race. Or who knows, maybe Mayor Mandani already told the DSA that he will be endorsing Cunningham and the DSA should not run a candidate and divide the vote. Cunningham is being rewarded by NYS higher ups for selling out the community on Vital Brooklyn and not putting pressure on the Governor.
He needs 500 signatures to be on the ballot, but he will probably need to get around 1,500 signatures because they will try to challenge the signatures.
Women also signed the petition. This is for a secular election so our nominations and votes count.
