Donald T. Wooten, the youngest of all the candidates running in the 42nd Councilmatic district was born and raised in East New York and has always believed his community was the “crown jewel” of Brooklyn. Currently employed with the NYC Human Resources Administration for over 18 years. He has seen the misfortune and suffering of people who just want an opportunity to be able to work and support their families. Education is his number one priority and he will look to explore ways of bringing true education through academics back to all neighborhoods in his district. He sees a vision of schools, churches, and community banning together to achieve this goal. He is a supporter of providing care for the sick, senior citizens and giving our youth of the future every opportunity to excel and advance. Donald believes in closing the gap even more between police and community and is in favor or providing opportunities to our parolees seeking housing and employment. His message to the community is “We will all have options for our future and every option will be an advantage for all and not for some!”
