Dear Friends and Neighbors, Change isn’t just on the horizon—it’s knocking on our door. And it comes in the form of a leader who has stood with this community for decades: Telee Brown.
From feeding families through the Deacon Telee Brown Giving Back Foundation, to advocating for the preservation of our heritage with Little Liberia Way, to mentoring youth and uplifting our elders—Telee has never needed a title to lead. He leads because he cares. Now, he’s stepping forward to represent us all as a candidate for New York City Council – 49th District.
Why Telee?
Because the time for bold, compassionate, and community-rooted leadership is now. We need a representative who understands the issues—not in theory, but from years of lived experience and active service. Telee has listened, walked alongside, and served our neighborhoods long before politics ever entered the conversation.
A Vision for the 49th—Rooted in Reality
Telee’s campaign is grounded in six urgent priorities that reflect the heartbeat of our district:
- Economic Disparities and Poverty
Bridging income gaps and advocating for real opportunities for working families. - Affordable Housing & Development
Fighting for housing that’s dignified, sustainable, and within reach for all. - Transportation and Infrastructure
Improving transit, fixing broken systems, and ensuring accessibility across neighborhoods. - Public Safety & Crime Prevention
Prioritizing smart, community-first safety solutions that build trust and keep everyone safe. - Health & Environmental Justice
Addressing health disparities and protecting our communities from environmental harm. - Education & Youth Opportunity
Empowering the next generation through access, mentorship, and equitable learning environments.
