Who does Christopher Marte represent?
What does Christopher Marte have the authority to do?
New York City Council Members shape how the city operates, grows, and treats its residents. First and foremost, they create and vote on laws that impact various aspects of city life, such as public safety, transportation, housing, and environmental regulations. Second, they work closely with the mayor to decide how the city's money is spent, negotiating and approving the city’s budget to fund essential services like schools, parks, and public safety. Additionally, city council members oversee different city agencies, including the Department of Education and the police department, ensuring they effectively serve residents. They also make important decisions about land use, zoning, and urban development, regulating everything from public spaces and landmarks to sidewalk cafes.
