Sweet and Salty with Ellen Karis


May 24, 2018

Councilman Rafael Espinal covers Brooklyn neighborhoods Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville, Bushwick, Crown Heights, Cypress Hills and East New York and is an up and comer in the world of NYC Politics. We talked to the Councilman about how he got started in politics from being a speechwriter to an elected official and the issues facing his district and NYC. We discussed his procurement of funds for affordable housing, as well as his stance on the current marijuana laws and the environment and his proposal of the Disconnect Bill and biodegradable straws. With aspirations for higher office and a vibrant personality, remember his name! For more on Councilman Espinal go to: http://rafaelespinal.nyc/meet-rafael/
