How Many Times Will the NYC Board of Elections Dispute a Woman’s Name on a Ballot?
It isn’t easy for women to run for office in NYC.
The NYC Board of Elections gave Heidi Chan-Sarantopoulos a hard time over her name. Heidi is running for Republican District Leader of Bay Ridge/Dyker Heights with Bob Cassara.
In the April 20th meeting at 48:32, the Board of Elections had a long discussion about Heidi’s name and refused to change her name on the ballot. It was awful to watch the video!
Seven members of the Board of Elections voted against Heidi using the name Heidi.
The Board of Elections thought Hei Man (her legal name) was too far away from Heidi and it would confuse people. The video is online – it won’t allow me to direct link to it – you have to find the April 20th meeting. (Video at 48:32)
** The Board of Elections in NYC has ten Commissioners, two from each borough which were each recommended by the Democrats or Republicans and then appointed by the New York City Council for a term of four years. ** (Source)
I’m thankful there was one woman who voted in favor of the name change (she was in the top row). You could tell she thought the entire discussion was ridiculous as she voted YES.
If candidates can have their name translated into other languages on the ballot, why wouldn’t an Americanized version of a name be acceptable? A person should be able to use whatever name they use in their community! They could have easily put both names.
The Board of Elections also didn’t want to change Heidi’s last name to her married name. A hyphenated name is easy to understand.
Brooklyn Republicans, the name you will need to look for on the ballot right for this new district leader is: Hei Man “Heidi” Chan ??? and Bob Cassara.
Maybe this is just how they try to discourage people from running for the position?!
NYC we have been here before!! Last year, the Board of Elections had these two women removed from the ballot because of their names (See here and here) The women knew they were in the right and went to court in Queens to fight it. They won and were able to get back on the ballot. (See here)
Someone please change the rules so the Board of Elections can’t do this to women….women who are married, who want to use an Americanized version of their name or who just want to run on the name their community calls them.

Andrew Gounardes is Unprofessional. He Needs to Use the F Word to Express His Thoughts in the News
When you hear people speaking with profanities, it means they don’t have a command of the English language. When we see an elected official speaking this way, it means that he doesn’t have any respect for the community he represents.

We don’t hear people speaking this way in business, courts, schools, etc. Why would it be acceptable for the senator to bring street language to government and the paper. If he can’t express his anger with some other words, he should get some help.
That type of language didn’t change one thing for our community – no one is driving any slower because of Gounardes.

If I Am Near You, I’ll Be Wearing a Mask

A post shared by mark szuszkiewicz (@mark4ny)

When I see signs like the one above being held by Brooklyn politician, Mark Szuszkiewicz and his pals, I understand this is how the other half lives.
If you have someone who is high risk in your family, you understand why I wrote the title above.
My husband is a cancer survivor. In the early months of COVID-19, I worried that he would get the virus. Keeping my husband away from everyone for so long has been a lot of work. Now that he’s fully vaccinated, I can exhale.
But you won’t see him or I without masks. If you are around me – indoors or outdoors, we wear a mask, so we don’t intentionally spread the disease to you or your people. We don’t wear it when you aren’t around!
When we are at herd immunity, I’ll stop wearing a mask. We are at 40% of Americans being vaccinated – we need to get to 80%.
