Steven Saperstein was born in Brooklyn, and grew up in Sheepshead Bay and Brighton Beach. Steven and his wife Elina are the proud parents of two daughters Rebecca and Emma​.
​
As a father, husband, educator, and community organizer, Steven promoted civic engagement that aids thousands of youth and seniors in Southern Brooklyn. Steven is Co-founder of the Shorefront Coalition, where his community efforts include combating the opioid epidemic, improving our quality of life, hosting informational seminars, hosting school supply drives, and coordinating food deliveries to support those in need during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Steven’s parents, Brian and Susan, and younger brother, Bruce, are deaf. This had a profound effect on Steven, who became fluent in American Sign Language as a young child in order to communicate and advocate for his family. Steven works as a special educator to empower students with disabilities (and their families), to give them the same opportunities for success that all Americans are entitled.

He attended P.S. 206, P.S. 100, and Midwood High School, received a B.A. in Metropolitan Studies from New York University, and a J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law. After getting his law degree, he earned an M.A. in Deaf & Hard of Hearing Education from Hunter College (CUNY) and a M.A. in School Leadership from Touro College.

As Councilman Steve will deliver for our community. We are confident he will be an excellent representative who will work hard to preserve our values.

We urge you to go out and vote for Steve Saperstein on November 2, 2021. Some prior elections have been won by a margin of only a hundred or so votes. Your vote counts.

There is no doubt that this is the most consequential election of our time. Our city is beset with a panoply of serious problems that directly affect the quality of life for all New Yorkers. As such, we need leaders who have the courage, vision and experience to effect that kind of positive change that is required for the preservation of this great City.

As we approach the final week of NYC election campaign we are so happy and elated to wholeheartedly support and endorse the election of Eric Adams as our next Mayor, Corey Johnson for Controller, and Rita Joseph for Council of the 40th Council District.

Borough President Eric Adams and his staff has shown our City strong and tenacious leadership, For this we will forever be grateful. With Eric Adams leadership the greatest city in the world will once again shine in glory.

Eric is running for Mayor because he knows we can have justice and public safety at the same time – and public safety is the prerequisite to prosperity. We need a leader who meets the moment. New York City’s comeback starts with electing Eric Adams as our next mayor.

Corey Johnson As Speaker of the City Council, Corey Johnson delivered on-time and balanced budgets three years in a row and managed a staff of nearly 900, including a team of financial analysts and economists. During the COVID-19 crisis, Corey led the City Council through one of the worst budget crises in our history and preserved millions in funding for critical City services and support for the most vulnerable New Yorkers. Corey can hit the ground running to ensure that every dollar in the City’s budget is being used effectively. As the City continues to cope with the devastating effects of COVID-19, we need an experienced manager as Comptroller. There’s no time for a learning curve.

Rita Joseph After immigrating to the U.S. from Haiti in her youth, Rita became civically engaged and began her life of advocacy. While growing up in Flatbush, Rita quickly recognized the power of activism. At just 19 years old, she organized her first rally with a group she founded, Haitian Enforcement Against Racism. Rita has deep roots in the community she is running to represent as City Council Member of District 40. She is an active member of the Holy Innocent Catholic Church and has organized numerous community events like toy drives, community street fairs, and after-school programs with the support of local elected officials like Council Member Mathieu Eugene, Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte, and State Senator Kevin Parker.
