<p><strong>We know that climate change is real</strong>. Super storms are becoming more and more frequent, and the entirety of District 3’s western boundary is the Hudson River. In fact, the natural shoreline was significantly further east; buildings in West Chelsea now sit on land that was formerly riverbed, which is why it is prone to flooding.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>The council’s newest member Carl Wilson says it’s all ‘a little surreal’</h4>

<p><strong>New York City must be a place where everyone can fully participate in daily life — </strong>no barriers, no exceptions. I will partner with the disability community&nbsp; to build a city that is accessible, inclusive, and designed with people with disabilities at the center.</p>

<h2>Accessibility and Disability Rights</h2>

<p>New York City has endless appeal to the next generation, but the people who have been here for decades built the communities we are fortunate to call home. They should be able to age in place with stability and access to the full life of the city. That means <strong>making sure seniors have affordable housing, accessible transit, and quality healthcare and support services</strong>.</p>

<h2>Senior Issues and Aging with Dignity</h2>

<p><strong>Donald Trump’s second term is as dangerous and threatening as we knew it would be. </strong>He is waging&nbsp; war on our city’s most vulnerable groups while starting reckless wars around the world. From attacks on the LGBTQ+&nbsp; community, DEI, to ICE’s illegal detention of our neighbors, the administration’s policies have created fear and instability.</p>

<h2>Protections against the Trump Administration</h2>

<p>We all know there is a perpetual shortage of affordable housing. The vacancy rate is extremely low, falling below 1% for apartments priced under $2,400 per month as of 2023 and rents continue to&nbsp; rise across NYC and the district. <strong>Regulation alone cannot solve the crisis</strong>, especially when there is no rent regulation for market rate apartments.</p>

<h2>Affordable Housing and Tenant Rights</h2>

<p>"Carl Wilson, longtime West Side organizer and chief of staff to Council Member Erik Bottcher, is officially running to take over Manhattan’s District 3, launching his campaign on Tuesday with day-one endorsements from City Hall heavyweights and a <strong>roster of tenant and community leaders across Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, and the West Village</strong>.<strong>"</strong></p>

<h4>Erik Bottcher’s Chief of Staff Carl Wilson launches campaign to succeed his boss</h4>

<p>"Democrat Carl Wilson, who <strong>coasted to victory in last month’s special election for a seat on Manhattan’s west side</strong>, served as chief of staff to Erik Bottcher, who vacated the District 3 seat to run for state Senate. Wilson was endorsed by City Council Speaker Julie Menin, two former speakers and seven more current members."</p>

<p>"Carl Wilson, one of four names on the ballot in April 28’s NYC Council District 3 Special Election, is the<strong> only LGBTQ-identified candidate in that race.</strong> We recently conducted a 30-minute, on-record phone interview with Wilson"</p>

<h4>LGBTQ+-Focused Q&A with Carl Wilson, CD3 Special Election Candidate</h4>

<p><strong>“This Community Gave Me the Freedom to Live Openly and the Responsibility to Give Back”</strong> — Carl Wilson Shares His West Side Story. As early voting approaches, Carl Wilson shares his West Side Story — the next in a series with all four candidates ahead of the April 28 special election."</p>

<h4>Carl Wilson Shares His West Side Story</h4>

<p>“I have seen Carl Wilson’s work up close, and it has consistently impressed me,” Nadler said in a statement. “ He represents the <strong>next generation of leadership</strong> <strong>New York City needs to meet the serious challenges we face.</strong> Carl understands that affordability is the defining issue of our time, and he is deeply committed to ensuring that working people can continue to live in the communities they helped build.”</p>

<h4>Retiring Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler is set to endorse City Council candidate Carl Wilson</h4>

<p>New York City should be a place where everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, can <strong>live safely, openly, and with dignity</strong>.</p>

<h2>LGBTQ+ Equality and Pride</h2>

<p>Public safety is a cornerstone of a thriving District 3. Safety isn’t just about policing; <strong>our neighborhoods are safest when neighbors have access to city services and community resources</strong> that help every resident feel secure and supported, be it a responsive 311 agent, an attentive crossing guard, or MTA employee.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Public Safety</h2>

<p>Historically home to many artists and actors, our district is central to New York City’s endlessly emerging arts scene – from the galleries of Chelsea and the Whitney Museum to the Great White Way - these cultural institutions have defined our city for decades. <strong>Unfortunately, many of them are struggling to remain prosperous</strong>.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Event title here</h4>

<p>"What’s so queer—politically speaking—about the place where I live, work, and play? If you have to ask, you’re probably not a registered voter residing in Chelsea or its adjacent areas. No matter where they sit, slip, or&nbsp; slide on the sexual identity scale, people around here tend to be progressive, and proudly wear that badge when going to the polls."</p>

<h4>Out Gay Electeds Nothing New—It’s Their Density in Chelsea That’s Notable</h4>

<p>"District 3 is my home. I care deeply about protecting its diversity, supporting its small businesses and cultural institutions, and <strong>ensuring it remains a place where people of all backgrounds can thrive.</strong> I am running to be a Council Member who is accessible, effective, and unafraid to stand up for this community, and I would be honored to earn the trust of its residents."</p>

<h4>Q&A with Council District 3 Candidate Carl Wilson</h4>

<p>The New York City Public School System is the largest school district in the US, with over 1,000,000 students, and 1,800+ schools. <strong>That’s bigger than most cities in America</strong>. Our schools are renowned for specialized high schools, high per-student funding, and immense diversity, offering unparalleled specialized programs across all five boroughs.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Schools and Education</h2>

<p>As Council Member Erik Bottcher is likely to become the next State Senator for District 47, the New York City Council District 3 seat will open - and <strong>Carl Wilson is best positioned to win</strong>.</p>

<h4>CARL WILSON ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN FOR NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL, DISTRICT 3</h4>

<p>"Democratic candidate Carl Wilson has declared victory in City Council District 3 race.</p><p>The district covers Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Hudson Yards, the West Village, the Garment District, the Meatpacking district and parts of Times Square.</p><p>On Tuesday night, <strong>Wilson had around 43 percent of first-choice-votes."</strong></p>

<h4>Carl Wilson Declares Victory in NYC Council District 3 Special Election</h4>

<p>District 3 moves. And it thrives on smart and efficient transportation that gets residents and all the out-of-town workers and visitors where they need to be quickly and safely. <strong>Our streets are safest when there is dedicated space for pedestrians and cyclists</strong>, so I will work to get permanent fixtures: concrete, tree pits, and planters to make real change, not just paint and plastic cones.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Transportation</h2>

<p>New York is a leader in the creative, tech, finance, and construction industry — and we’ve got&nbsp; union power, too. We must ensure the growth of good paying&nbsp; jobs for local residents, because we know <strong>we don’t thrive as a city unless we create more jobs.</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Economic Development and Jobs</h2>

<p>"Earlier this week, Carl Wilson was <strong>officially announced as the winner of a City Council special election in Manhattan.</strong></p><p>It comes after ranked-choice voting tabulations on Tuesday put him more than 2,000 votes ahead of his closest competitor, Lindsey Boylan."</p>

<h4>Carl Wilson celebrates City Council election win</h4>

<p>Clean, safe, and accessible public spaces are a key part of what makes any district enjoyable and successful. Our district has some of the city’s most verdant parks and busy plazas. <strong>Well-maintained parks, vibrant streets, and reliable sanitation services are essential for the health and happiness of all residents</strong> while also attracting tourists and business.&nbsp;</p>
