Crown Heights Vote Could Decide Today’s Assembly Race
In a low-turnout Election Day race that could be decided by a small number of votes, Crown Heights residents are being called on to turn out today for Anash member Ahron Gluck for NYS Assembly before polls close at 9:00 PM.
Today is Election Day, and members of our community have an opportunity to make their voice heard.
This election may not receive the attention of a presidential, gubernatorial or mayoral race, but that’s the key why it is a winnable race for Crown Heights resident and NYS Assembly candidate Ahron Gluck, with the ultra-low general turnout throughout the broader district, a strong and powerful turnout from fellow Lubavitchers can Bez”h decide the outcome of today’s election.
The New York State Assembly makes decisions that affect our neighborhood, our families, our Yeshivas and schools, public safety, housing, shelters, and many of the issues that matter most to our community. It’s impact on our daily lives can be significant
Because this is not a major citywide, statewide or national election, turnout is expected to be very low. Fewer than 2,000 voters participated during early voting in our district. In an election with such low turnout, every vote for Ahron Gluck truly matters and can make a real difference.
Adding to the challenge, rain is in the forecast today. Experience shows that poor weather often keeps people home, resulting in even lower turnout. That means every person who takes a few minutes to go out and vote can have a meaningful impact on the outcome.
Our community has always understood the importance of taking responsibility for its future. Voting is one of the ways we can stand up for our values, our institutions, and the needs of our families.
Polls are open today until 9:00 PM.
In addition to the community’s strong support for NYS Assembly candidate Ahron Gluck, residents are also encouraged to vote for Members of the State Committee candidates Nakisha O. Evans and Akel K. Williams (lower level “group” on the voting ballot) both are running together on a slate for male and female district leaders and are friends, allies and strong supporters of the Crown Heights Jewish community, they have also received the CH PAC community leaders which include members of the Vaad Hakohol endorsement along with Gluck.

Every vote matters. Every voice matters. Vote today.
