Lynn Schulman is a candidate for City Council in the 29th Council District in Queens, primarily representing Forest Hills, Rego Park and Kew Gardens. If elected, she will become the first lesbian from an outer borough to serve on the council. As an attorney, Schulman has spent 30 years in city and state politics, promoting tenants’ rights and working to mitigate domestic violence, gender discrimination and poverty. Schulman has been vice chair of Community Board 6 in Forest Hills for over a decade and most recently served as a senior manager at Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), where she orchestrated education and media campaigns. As a Council member, “One of my priorities would be to advocate for re-establishment of a separate Mayoral office of LGBT Affairs,” she says. “….In addition, I want to ensure and enhance the access members of the LGBT community have to public healthcare in New York City. With my healthcare background, I believe I can make successful inroads in that area.” –KL
