Lincoln Restler

We came out ahead in every single neighborhood in the 33rd: DUMBO / Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill, Northside, South Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bed-Stuy. And it’s all because of the coalition we built together.

Our guiding goal was to try to engage every single voter possible. Together, we reached tens of thousands of voters over the phone, at their door, and at farmers markets around the district. To those of you who donated or volunteered, thank you for getting us here.

Particularly, I’d like to thank my team. @nievemooney had never done anything like running a campaign before, but she is that rare person who excels at everything and she demonstrated it every day on this campaign.

.@loz_cuauhtemoc and @KaraMonaghan ran a fabulous field program and brought relentless positivity to reaching every voter. And our awesome organizer @bpdbaby celebrated her 21st birthday hustling with us on Election Day.

I am immensely grateful to #StudentsforLincoln -- a group of brilliant, young people, who put in countless hours of work and truly powered our campaign. Our treasurer @stiltsie did a superb job keeping everything in check!

And of course my family, the best volunteers and supporters in the world—my dad who phone banked every night, my mom who knocked on nearly every damn door in Brooklyn Heights, and my sister who missed her wedding anniversary and father’s day to get out the vote with us.

Lastly, my partner @poekest is the actual best and her love and support through the ups and downs of this campaign (and life!) make all of this possible!

There were dozens of electeds, community leaders, progressive orgs & labor unions who endorsed our campaign. I appreciate every single one of them. Most of all I want to thank my mentor @ReElectNydia, who has always believed in me & whose support was foundational to this campaign
