VID-Endorsed Candidate Carl Wilson Wins District 3! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that VID-endorsed candidate Carl Wilson has won the special election for NYC Council District 3!

In a closely watched race across Hell’s Kitchen and Chelsea, Wilson secured a strong victory—continuing his path of public service. A longtime community advocate and former chief of staff to Councilmember Erik Bottcher, Carl brings deep local knowledge and a steady, experienced hand to the role.

This win didn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s the result of real grassroots energy. From petitioning and canvassing to phonebanking and turnout efforts, our community showed up. And in a low-turnout special election, that made all the difference.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, spread the word, and got out the vote.
Now let’s keep the momentum going—join us in helping Carl as he heads toward the June primary.

Stay tuned for ways to stay involved and support Carl as he continues building a campaign—and a coalition—that reflects District 3.
