Willabus kicks-off early voting with motorcade rally
By Tangerine Clarke
Dimple Willabus, candidate
for NYC City Council District 46,
certainly knows how to “rev-up”
a crowd. The budding politician,
dressed like a “Nascar” driver,
June 12, kicked off the first day
of voting, with a motorcade rally
that circled the community she
hopes to lead.
Willabus, is a Guyanese-American
community advocate, and
20-year resident of Mill Basin, a
hamlet in District 46, that encompasses
flatlands, Georgetown, Gerritsen
Beach, Marine Park, Mill
Basin, Mill Island, Sheepshead
Bay, and Canarsie.
The hardworking, tenacious
candidate, who, over the COVID-
19 pandemic, hosted food and
mask distributions throughout
the district, held a poster with
her image above her head, as she
exited a lime green Lamborghini
sports car in front of her 5012
Avenue N, campaign office.
Fighting to achieve a more just,
equitable and inclusive Brooklyn,
Willabus told an adoring group of
supporters that the rally was an
extension of what she had been
saying since she began her campaign.

“Go bigger or go home, it
is about diversity and inclusion,
everybody, including the car community.
“We have said it from the getgo,
we don’t only talk about what
we do, we show it” she said, and
spoke of her active campaign
office that has engaged the community,
before acknowledging the
importance of early voting.
“Seize the opportunity to vote
and exercise your right to do so,”
said Willabus, noting that her
office will reclaim the community
by putting people first.
“Anybody who don’t go out
and vote, you are actually voting
for the person you don’t want in
office, so it is imperative to exercise
your civic duty,” she said,
adding that early voting will run
through June 20. General polling
is June 22.
She thanked husband, Winston
Willabus, daughter Chantelle,
son-in-law Brian, younger
children, Anaya and Brandon,
mother, Gloria, and her volunteer
team, noting that all her success,
thus far, is due to their support.

“Today it’s about you. “We
could accomplish more, if we
work together,” said the candidate,
to loud applause.
Willabus is committed to
increasing educational funding,
creating better youth and senior
services, improving social programs
and creating economic
growth through small business
development, under the banner,
Integrity, Leadership, Commitment.
“Today, was another opportunity
to demonstrate action! As I’ve
always said, it takes all of us to
bring the change we envisioned.”
Willabus, a Caribbean Life
Impact Award recipient, also
thanked NYPD Officers of the
63rd and 69th Precincts, for
escorting the parade through the
district.
Scores of residents from the
diverse community, came out to
support the purposeful candidate,
who was endorsed by Mexicanborn,
Attorney at Law, Alfredo
Tapia, whose Lamborghini she
traveled in. Chinese-born Betty
Hong, in turn, encouraged constituents
to go out and vote for
Willabus.
