Thank you for visiting my website.

Born and raised in New York City, I know that this city is an incredible place; a place that affords people from all ethnic and economic backgrounds a chance to come together, to learn from and enrich one another, and a chance to succeed.

The New York City Council, our city's law-making body, has the ability and responsibility to make this an even better place to live and work. By passing a budget that reflects the values and priorities of all New Yorkers, by making sensible land use decisions, and by passing laws that proactively enhance our quality of life, the Council can have a powerful and positive impact on the future of this city.

I am honored to have the opportunity to serve you in the City Council.  In the years ahead, I will continue to work to promote affordable housing, to expand transportation options on the East Side, to improve our local schools, and to protect our parks, libraries, and cultural institutions.

A successful democracy is based on dialogue and community involvement.  As always, I welcome your input and hope you will continue to communicate your ideas with me.  Please feel free to use the contact information below to share your vision for how to make the Upper East Side, and our city, a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Sincerely,
Jessica Lappin
Council Member
