Khari Edwards, influenced by his Caribbean immigrant upbringing, is campaigning for Brooklyn Borough President with a focus on equity, inclusion, and community engagement. He's spent 25 years improving healthcare access for Brooklyn's residents and championing youth initiatives. Edwards argues that true leadership must be accessible and responsive to the needs of Brooklyn's communities. He believes in addressing economic disparities, enhancing public safety, and celebrating the borough's diversity. With deep roots in Brooklyn and a strong coalition of support, he feels equipped to challenge incumbent Antonio Reynoso for leadership of the borough.
"As the son of Caribbean immigrants raised in Crown Heights, I witnessed firsthand how many Brooklyn neighborhoods have been neglected and underserved, and I understand that meaningful progress demands leadership that is accessible, accountable, and truly listens to the people."
"Over the past 25 years, I have focused on delivering real solutions - expanding healthcare for more than a million residents, championing restorative justice, and launching initiatives like 'It Starts Here' to empower our youth."
"I believe Brooklyn deserves a leader committed to closing economic and health gaps, investing in safer schools and affordable housing, celebrating our diversity, and making sure every voice is heard."
"My mission is to bring Brooklyn together, leveraging the power of Borough Hall to build a more just, sustainable and vibrant future for all who call this borough home."
