Dan Garodnick Biography

Born and raised on the East Side of Manhattan Dan Garodnick was elected to the New York City Council on November 8 2005.
Garodnick was praised by the New York Times for his independent streak as well as for being a champion of smarter redevelopment along the East River and a fighter for increased funding for the city's public school students. In his first year on the Council Garodnick established himself as a leader in the fight for affordable housing spearheading the $4.5 billion tenant-backed bid for the purchase of Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village.
His creative problem solving recently earned Garodnick a place on City Hall's list of The Next Generation of Political Leaders in New York. In 2007 Garodnick secured the funds to build a new library for a middle school in his district — then organized a book drive that added over 4000 books to the library's shelves. He was also recognized for his out-of-the-box public service after mediating between the owners of a restaurant in his district and a group of workers who had filed a federal discrimination lawsuit and winning praise from both sides for negotiating an equitable settlement. Garodnick authored and passed a law to make government work better for property owners by staggering the City's mandated building façade inspections and in October 2007 he introduced historic legislation to protect tenants from harassment by their landlords.
