"Growing up I watched the heroes of NYC save thousands of lives on September 11th. I knew in my bones that I needed to dedicate my life to public service, and I made it my mission to join the FDNY. Now, as a 33-year-old firefighter, I still believe in that same higher calling.
Prices are skyrocketing, wages aren't keeping up, and our communities are hurting. I'm running for City Council as a Democrat who fights for the middle class, the people who make New York City great.
​​
I've spent 11 years running towards danger to answer that higher calling, to help New Yorkers on their worst days. Now I’m running toward City Hall with the same urgency and sense of duty — to help prevent those worst days from happening in the first place."
-Benjamin Chou
Democratic nominee for City Council District 19
