Why Chris Quinn Will Make It Work For New York City

Hi, I’m Tim Gunn! I first met Chris Quinn a few years ago, and it’s a moment I’ll never forget. Chris Quinn is an effective progressive who knows how to "make it work” as a leader for New York City. I’ve pledged to vote for her in the Democratic Mayoral Elections on September 10th, and I invite you to join me. Here's why I think Chris Quinn will Make. It. Work.

She won't let New York City become a luxury brand.

Chris will make sure New York City remains a place where young professionals who come here can find jobs and housing so they can continue to stay here.

I’ve been an educator in NYC for 29 years, and Chris gets it.

Chris has protected our teachers from lay-offs, expanded full day pre-K by nearly 10,000 seats and helped make kindergarten mandatory`for NYC children. She will prepare our students for the tech jobs of the future, and require Project ARTS funding actually be used for the arts!

Chris knows how to get people to the table and make it work.

Trust me when I say I’ve dealt with quite a few crazy characters in my life! Actually, make that a ton of crazy characters. Getting people to work together is hard, and Chris does it better than anyone -- that's how she passed 8 on-time balanced budgets, passed a living wage law, and cracked down on bad landlords.

She makes red hair work, even if she’s not a natural redhead.

Edie Windsor is a national treasure, and I’ll just let her speak for herself: “Chris Quinn is open and generous and she's smart. She understands the problems of managing a big city like New York. She comes of middle class background herself and has true compassion for the struggling middle class and the struggling working class and the struggling not-working class today. And you don't find that very often. I hope everyone listening to me will not only vote for Chris themselves but in fact will spread the word, will educate everyone they care about. She'll be great!”

There. She definitely said it better than I could.

New York City is the greatest city in the entire world, and Chris will keep it that way.

Chris will ensure every New Yorker's commute is an hour or less.

That way you can go shopping after work quicker!

She’ll keep NYC a place for young entrepreneurs.

Brooklyn's so on trend and Chris will make sure you don't even have to leave for work by continuing to develop the Brooklyn Tech Triangle to attract creative start ups like Etsy and MakerBot!
