Yesterday I had the pleasure of and visiting with Mayoral candidate Dr. Selma Bartholomew. I had a blast chatting with her. Her energy is vibrant and full of life and an optimistic outlook for her future and the future of New York.

With a declaration that she’s our next Mayor, she speaks life into her destiny. She believes that she is the hope that New Yorkers are so desperately looking for.

Dr. B’s background in education provides her the skills needed to lead our city into its bright future. With plans to renovate our educational program, and a passion for the homeless and those dealing with mental health. Bartholomew believes she’s the voice needed to redirect the trajectory of our city.

Her warm spirit and her compassionate heart is what she and her army of volunteers believe is exactly what the Mayors office needs to clean our streets and develop arts and tourism programs to fuel and bring our city back to its former glory. Get out and vote and make your voice heard.
