By Nelson A. King
Brooklyn Democratic Assemblyman
Jamaican N. Nick Perry
and his compatriot Democratic
State Committeeman Cory
Provost have endorsed Haitianborn
Mercedes Narcisse for the
46th Council District seat in
Brooklyn, saying that Nascisse
is “a hard-working and bold
leader who will stand up and
fight for all the families” of the
district in City Hall.
“I am very proud to endorse
Mercedes Narcisse for the New
York City Council,” said Perry,
representative for the 58th
Assembly District in Brooklyn.
“As a registered nurse and a
bonafide first responder, Mercedes
is trained and ready to
help nurse New York City and
our neighborhoods back to
health.
“For decades, Mercedes has
been a fierce and fearless advocate
for our community, building
a proven track record of
improving the quality of lives
of the families who live in the
council district she now seeks
to represent.
“Mercedes is more than
ready to take this next step, and
I look forward to working with
her as a fellow colleague in government,”

Perry continued.
Provost, who is also a district
leader, said Narcisse is
“the clear choice for the 46th
District of the New York City
Council.
“As a mother, registered
nurse, small business owner,
neighbor and community leader,
Mercedes has been a proven
and prudent leader,” he said.
“Especially important in these
times, Mercedes knows how
to bring people together and
bridge divisions.
“Mercedes has a vision of
progress but also understands
the nuances needed to make
things happen,” Provost added.
“Most importantly, Mercedes
has a record of service that
illuminates her dedication to
improving the lives of every
resident not only in the 46th
District but across New York
City.
“I look forward to continuing
to work with Mercedes
once elected as the next Councilmember
for the 46th District
of the New York City Council
this June 22, 2021,” he continued.
Narcisse said she was “proud”
to receive the endorsements,
stating that Perry has been a
mentor and friend for many
years.
“I’ve had the pleasure of
closely working with Assemblyman
Perry as he has fought
in Albany for criminal justice
reform, immigrant rights,
affordable housing and services
for our seniors,” she said.
“As your next council member,
I look forward to continuing
to work with Assemblyman
Perry and District Leader Cory
Provost to improve the quality
of lives of all the residents of the
46th Council District we would
jointly represent,” she added.
Last month, Narcisse picked
up an early and influential
endorsement of the 21 in ’21
Initiative, a nonpartisan, citywide
Mercedes Narcisse. Marc Baptiste
effort formed in 2018,
which endeavors to increase the
number of women elected to
the New York City Council.
In releasing its endorsements
for the 2021 New York
City Council elections, the 21
in ’21 Initiative endorsed Narcisse
over at least three other
women currently in the race to
fill the term-limited seat currently
held by Councilman Alan
Maisel.
Narcisse, also an entrepreneur
and mother of four, has
long been a fixture in the community
due to her unrelenting
advocacy.
