Vote for Kim Watkins for Manhattan Borough President..
The pandemic has ruined lives, broken our social contract, and exposed countless injustices, which many New Yorkers have faced for years. The negligence of elected officials highlights the importance of bringing a new voice to the office of the Manhattan Borough President. Residents of Manhattan deserve a leader who prioritizes the needs of regular people and listens to voices, which have been ignored for years. Let's RUN TOGETHER FOR CHANGE.
Together we will reimagine a better Manhattan for EVERY NEW YORKER. The grassroots movement of PEOPLE POWER is here.Â

I am supporting Kim because I have seen what she can accomplish when she brings people together and fights for a better deal for people in her community. When I was president of CEC4 I had many opportunities to collaborate with, and learn from, Kim on Manhattan wide education initiatives. I was always impressed with her ability to speak truth to power and get things done, and this is why I think she will be a great Manhattan Borough President.
I am supporting Kim because she recognizes the critical role school nurses play in caring for school communities before and during the pandemic. Kim continues to advocate for pay parity for school nurses. Kim is a champion for all health professionals.
I'm running with Kim. She's understands the needs of our school children. Her stance on equity and fiscal responsibility are areas of great need for our public schools.
Let's run together for a better Manhattan and NYC for all.
