51 Council Members in 52 Weeks: District 20, Sandra Ung

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 16, 2022

The majority of the New York City Council members are new, and are part of a class that is the most diverse and progressive in city history. Over the next year Brian Lehrer will get to know all 51 members. This week, Councilmember Sandra Ung talks about her priorities for District 20 in Queens, which includes Flushing, Murray Hill, Queensboro Hill, Mitchell-Linden, and Fresh Meadows.

Council member @SandraForNY1 joined the show today as part of our series '51 Council Members in 52 Weeks' -- here's a pic of the @Mets bobblehead she brought for "show-and-tell" (she's a big Mets fan!) (photo courtesy Council Member Ung): pic.twitter.com/clVx0xRwBr
