You Run Me for the New York State Legislature

In 1964, he was elected to the New York State Assembly. Each time the district was reapportioned, she had to campaign again. In 1967 for the first time in Brooklyn a seat was going to be created that will give the primarily black and Puerto Rican people of that area the opportunity to have their own voice in Washington DC. So with all of these things facing me once again I had to make a decision. My name is Shirley Chatham on the basis of the record that I have established. I hope to go to the United States Congress on November 5th.
