The candidate: Carlos Menchaca

Running for: Council District 38, which includes Bay Ridge Towers, Greenwood Heights, Red Hook, Sunset Park and Windsor Terrace

The very basics: The widely endorsed Carlos Menchaca is going up against sitting council member Sara Gonzalez in the Democratic primary. He’s worked as an aide for Brooklyn Borough president Marty Markowitz and current council speaker Christine Quinn, for whom he was a liaison on LGBT issues.

Fun fact! If Menchaca wins, he’ll be first Mexican-American City Council member, and the first LGBT representative from a Brooklyn district.
