"Our team collaborated with local Democratic clubs made up of people who are well-experienced and knowledgeable about our village which was key to making sure we didn't just collect signatures, but that we did it right."

Over the past few weeks, Wright's team has tirelessly collected signatures from Harlemites throughout the district, collaborating with esteemed local Democratic clubs including Frederick E. Samuel Democratic Club, Martin Luther King Jr. Democratic Club, Michelle Obama Community Democratic Club, Uptown Democratic Club, and West Harlem Progressive Democratic Club. 

With the petitioning phase now behind them, Wright's campaign enters the next stage of election season with enthusiasm. The overwhelming support garnered through the process serves as a testament to the growing momentum behind Wright in this race.

As the campaign continues its sprint toward election day, Wright's team remains committed to engaging with the community, listening to their concerns, and working towards a brighter future for the 70th Assembly District.
