Brad Lander, Neighbor

I am the City Council Member representing the 39th City Council District in Brooklyn, which includes Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Columbia Waterfront, Gowanus, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, and Borough Park.

Since I was elected in 2009, I have fought for fairer budgeting that puts schools and services ahead of tax cuts for millionaires and have advocated for policies that help us build a more progressive city.

I live in Park Slope with my wife, Meg Barnette, the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Planned Parenthood NYC, and children, Marek (who attends Middle School 51) and Rosa (who attends Public School 107).
