CB7 leader runs for City Council
Community Board 7 Chairperson César Zúñiga said Tuesday he’s running for the District 38 City Council seat in next year’s election.
The district is currently represented by Democrat Carlos Menchaca, who is term-limited. It includes Sunset Park, Red Hook, Greenwood Heights and parts of Borough Park, Dyker Heights and Windsor Terrace.
Zúñiga, an early childhood educator who has been the chair of CB7 since 2018, told this paper why he decided to join what is expected to be a crowded and competitive race.
