other elected officials,
community leaders,
organizations and labor
unions — said she intends
to address affordable
housing for district
residents; City support
for small businesses
and start-ups; job
opportunities; improved
school infrastructure;
“and the desperate
need for high-quality
and holistic health care
centers for residents.”
Chandler-Waterman
could not be reached for
comment, but Williams
congratulated Louis on
their triumph.
“Council Member
Farah Louis won a
second, very tough race,
and the 45th District has
clearly spoken again,” he
told Caribbean Life.
“As the community
begins to heal and unify
after this election, let’s
all work to help her
serve the community
we all love,” he added.
“Congratulations Council
Member!”
With Louis’s victory in
the Democratic Primary,
she will occupy the
seat until the general
elections in November.
If she wins the general
elections, she will
serve the remainder of
Williams’s term, which
runs through 2021.

Rodneyse Bichotte, also
the daughter of Haitian
immigrants, who had
pushed Louis to contest
the seat, asked the crowd:
“Are you fired up?”
“Yes!” they shouted
back.
“I just want to say,
thank you, thank you,
thank you,” said Bichotte,
representative for the
42nd Assembly District
in Brooklyn and the first
Haitian American from
New York City to be
elected to New York State
Assembly.
Earlier, Guyanese-born
New York State Senator
Roxanne Persaud, who
represents the 19th
Senatorial District in
Brooklyn, told Caribbean
Life that she did not
support any candidate in
the race because of its
divisiveness.
She, however, said that
she had sent Louis a text
message on his victory.
“I just want to
congratulate her,”
Persaud said. “I
know she’ll bring the
community together.
That’s what she was
elected to do, and I think
she’ll do that.
“It’s great that more
women are getting
into elected office,” she
added.
