Dromm Files Three Times the Signatures Needed to Qualify for Ballot

Democrat Daniel Dromm Files Three Times the Signatures Needed to Qualify for Ballot

Petition Signers Say: It's Time for a City Council Member Who Gets Results

QUEENS – Daniel Dromm filed over 2,700 petitions to place him on the Democratic ballot for City Council in District 25, where he is challenging incumbent Helen Sears’ brazen bid to give herself a third term over the objections of New York City voters.

The 2,714 signatures Dromm filed are three times the 900 needed to qualify for the ballot, demonstrating the strength of his grassroots campaign operation. More than 100 volunteers spent five weeks knocking on roughly 15,000 doors throughout the 25th District to gather these petitions.

In another sign that Dromm’s challenge is resonating with voters, a large portion of his signatures came from neighborhoods like Elmhurst and LeFrak City that incumbent Sears has largely ignored during her time on the City Council. LeFrak alone contributed one out of every five signatures Dromm gathered.

“So many of the voters I met during this process were just thankful to have a City Council candidate actually show up at their door and ask what matters to them,” Dromm said of his petitioning efforts. “People have been waiting eight years for our current Council Member to address major issues like hospital closings, traffic congestion, school overcrowding and quality of life in our neighborhoods. She hasn’t done that – but I have the experience and energy to get it done.”

Daniel Dromm has been a public school teacher in Queens for over 25 years, and a community organizer working to advance civil rights and opportunities for diverse communities in the 25th Council District. He has been endorsed by Assemblyman José Peralta, Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras, Councilman Eric Gioia, the United Federation of Teachers, the Working Families Party, the Hotel and Motel Trades Council, the Stonewall Democrats, and many other New York City organizations and community leaders.
