This Voter Guide contains voting information, Council district maps, statements and photos submitted by Council candidates, and information on the ballot proposal mentioned above. It does not include information on candidates for other offices. Under the City Charter, the Guide is printed in English and Spanish, and under Federal voting laws, distributed in Chinese in some districts. The CFB also administers the New York City Campaign Finance Program. The Program reduces the influence of private money on City campaigns, offers qualified candidates a fair chance to run for office by providing public matching funds for small contributions, and makes available detailed information on candidates' campaign finances.
Informed voters strengthen democracy.
We hope that the 1999 Voter Guide will help you make your choices on election day. Suzanne Kizis, Marc Bratman, Ian Michaels, Ken O'Brien and Elizabeth A. Upp. The New York City 1999 Voter Guide.
