Know Your Candidates: Mathylde Frontus
Dr. Mathylde Frontus defied all odds in winning the Democratic primary nomination for the 46th Assembly District seat. Despite not having the support of elected officials or local community leaders, Frontus persevered and defeated the heavily backed Ethan Lustig-Elgrably to win the nomination.
What Frontus did have was an incredible support system of people within the district who specifically wanted the kind of change Frontus was advocating.
Frontus, an educator and Coney Island civic activist, said she is on a mission to bring government closer to the people.
