Queens Power Hosts Mayoral Forum in Brooklyn

As a proud member of Queens Power, QCH demonstrated our collective strength at a pivotal mayoral forum on June 1st, bringing over 100 dedicated community members to join 2,000 other passionate Metro IAF members at St. Paul Community Baptist Church in Brooklyn.

With the NYC Primary Election on the horizon, this forum represented a crucial opportunity for our community to hold candidates accountable. Five leading mayoral contenders—City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, Comptroller Brad Lander, Representative Zohran Mamdani, and Former Comptroller Scott Stringer—faced direct questions about three critical priorities identified by our members: building 500,000 new units of affordable housing, expanding support and funding for mental health services, and implementing meaningful NYCHA reforms.

QCH's commitment to civic engagement was evident in our careful coordination—we arranged transportation from multiple Queens neighborhoods, ensuring that geography wouldn't prevent anyone from participating in this democratic process. The result was a powerful display of community engagement, with neighbors of all ages coming together to help shape our city's future.
