Firefighter, president of FDNY Phoenix Society, former Democratic nominee for NYC City Council District 19

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

I'm an NYC firefighter running for City Council against Vickie Paladino. Everyday New Yorkers need someone who understands their problems representing them.

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

It's been 7 days now. Her silence on antisemitic, racist, and hate-filled messages speaks volumes.

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

Why has my opponent still not condemned the Young Republican group chat?

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

Our seniors have given so much to our communities — they deserve peace of mind. I’m committed to making life easier for older adults, from improving access to essential services and transportation to bringing real relief on monthly expenses. 💪💙

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

It could not be further from the truth! Not only do half of our city's nurses and one third of our city's teachers come from the CUNY system every year, @Forbes lists 7 CUNY schools in their top 10 ranking of colleges with the highest payoff, alongside Princeton and Stanford.

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

CUNY changes lives every day, and I’m proud to stand with the faculty and staff who make that possible. Together, we’ll fight to fully fund CUNY and keep higher education within reach for every New Yorker. @PSC_CUNY

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

Sadly, my opponent fails to appreciate the immense contributions of CUNY and the vital role its schools play in our city's economy. In fact, she has called to 'defund CUNY' and falsely claims the system 'provides zero economic or intellectual value to our city.' @VickieforNYC

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

In news that should surprise no one: my opponent is putting her big money donors ahead of the safety of our community.

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

@VickieforNYC Who?

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

@sylveonkpopnyct Appreciate it. I look forward to not only getting your vote this year, but spending the next four years earning your enthusiastic support for my 2029 re-election bid.

Go @benchou4ny go!

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

I’m running for City Council because our neighbors deserve someone who will fight for safer and more affordable Queens.

[benchou4ny @benchou4ny]

“Ben who?” Thanks for asking, I’m Ben Chou. A lifelong Queens resident, the son of Chinese and Burmese immigrants, and a New York City firefighter who has spent the last decade putting out fires instead of starting them.
