“And you don’t get that kind of broad support unless you served it and unless people have seen it,” Nadler said.
“So the fact that, with all the doors you and your team knocked on [during the campaign], you got the votes, you won the election handily, tells me that you’ve really done a great job already,” the congressmember said. “And that tells me that you’ll do a great job in the future.”
Councilman Marte has so much energy and drive. He is a good listener, communicator and respectful. He understands the needs of those he serves and has been willing to fight hard along side his constituents. He is all in and has demonstrated he is in for the long haul.
He has already been working hard at fighting the injustices that have been levied upon the businesses and residents in his jurisdiction. In just the short amount of time he has been in office, he has racked up several meaningful successes. I’m proudly an active member of his cheerleading squad!
