Lincoln Reslter

Born and raised in the 33rd Council District, Lincoln has spent his whole life living and working in the communities that make up the district – from Brooklyn Heights to Greenpoint and from Williamsburg to Boerum Hill. Lincoln shows up for the community as a 24/7 problem-solver – hosting town halls, resolving thousands of constituent issues, and mobilizing neighbors to better our neighborhoods through volunteer opportunities.

As a Council Member, he has prioritized the urgent issues facing our City like securing affordable housing and protecting tenants, mitigating local climate change impacts, improving public transportation and safer streets, investing in public schools, and holding the Mayor accountable. Lincoln has helped improve safety on major corridors, including Atlantic Ave and McGuinness Boulevard, led oversight of the Adams administration as Chair of the Committee on Governmental Operations, and introduced legislation to make our communities cleaner, safer, and greener. He has passed groundbreaking legislation to require cooling for tenants to combat rising temperatures, restored year-round outdoor dining, and planted thousands of trees across the district. As Chair of the Contracts Committee, he is working to ensure non-profits are paid on time and to improve transparency, accountability, and fairness in City spending.
