NYC 39th District Candidate Brandon West on We Excel Daily

Brandon West is a community organizer, policy wonk, and advocate. Currently, he is running for the New York City Council in the 39th district, where he is fighting to build a district and a city where working people own power and don’t need connections or money to access our democracy. Brandon works as Campaign Manager for the Center for Popular Democracy on their national Voting Rights and Democracy program’s campaign. In this role, he protects and increases access to the ballot and strengthens the political voice of historically disadvantaged communities in the electoral process.

Brandon also worked in the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget, before transitioning to the City Council Finance Division, working on the Education, Transportation, and Contracts Committees. During his time there, he saw opaque processes, insulated from public input, that had a tremendous impact on public spending and ultimately on people’s lives. Brandon also helped organize the Occupy City Hall action in New York and is committed to budget justice, defunding the police, and supporting Black lives. westforcouncil.com Join us on We eXceL Daily and ask questions!⠀
