Without question, one of the hardest things I’ve taken on.
In 2021 a single, Muslim, Bangladeshi young woman raised in Kensington got elected to the NY City Council in D39, the district that de Blasio and Lander had represented. Her name is Shahana Hanif and she won re-election in 2025 with a remarkable 70% of the vote against seriously funded opposition.

Shahana Hanif has made a few statements and attended a couple of protests, which her opponent and those who support her haven't stopped bringing up. And then they have the chutzpah to say that Shahana has a "disproportionate focus on that issue." They're the ones talking about it all the time!

We needed Shahana Hanif to win big to send a message that big money and Islamophobia have no place in local politics, our community, or anywhere. She blew it out of the water!

This is a story too: a boatload of outside money poured in to engineer racially motivated opposition to Shahana Hanif, a widely liked CM who cruised to reelection two years ago, and it just …didn’t work at all

I'm immensely proud to be putting all my effort into Jews For Shahana! Up against waves of spending by Uber, Bloomberg, MSG, and Solidarity PAC and waves of attempts to smear Shahana , today we hit the news with our letter from over 260 Jewish constituents. 1/4

I'm personally endorsing Shahana Hanif for re-election in Brooklyn's 39th Council District. I've worked closely with @shahanafrombk.bsky.social with @streetspac.org and in my community role and found her smart, principled, and hard-working. She's taken politically risky positions in favor of...

In #CD38, I endorse the incumbent Shahana Hanif. Another strong voice for transportation, she supported the Arrow Linen rezoning and City of Yes. She is facing a primary challenger funded, in part, by Republican donors.

Just got yet another super-PAC mailer backing @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social

This time it’s from “Moving New York Families Forward” — a pro-charter school super-PAC funded by Mike Bloomberg.

Does Maya Kornberg want to privatize our public schools?

I am honored to be endorsed by my friend, mentor, and ally, former Manhattan BP Ruth Messinger—a progressive trailblazer who fought Trump before it was cool. I've been so grateful for her collaboration and leadership in building multi-faith coalitions to protect NYC immigrants. Thank you Ruth!

Hedge fund billionaire Daniel Loeb maxed out his donations to the City Council campaign against progressive Councilmember Shahana Hanif.

Loeb gave still more to a PAC supporting the challenger, and $250,000 to a PAC supporting Cuomo.

In 2021, as a candidate @shahanafrombk.bsky.social honored the Triangle Fire by convening a feminist discussion of history, global & NYC labor organizing, immigration & garment work. It was an honor to speak at it - with a leader who cared and who has led in council on all those movements since.

WILD: Donors from outside NYC are spending 💰 on a sham City Council candidate against a progressive leader.

This prop candidate said she has “no relationship” w her plutocrat donor Len Blavatnik.

Turns out Blavatnik runs a company with her father and brother. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

A new letter from Indivisible Brooklyn takes aim at GOP-aligned donors to Maya Kornberg. Plus, it notes Kornberg's connection to one of those donors is a lot closer than she let on to us back in December.

My take on this Maya Kornberg story? Taking money from billionaire Trump supporters is bad (and a political liability in a Dem primary in NYC!) . Lying about you and your families incredibly close relationship to one of them, much much worse. @bkindivisible.bsky.social @jfrejnyc.bsky.social
