Steven D. Patzer (Democrat) is an advocate for sustainable economic development, transportation, public safety, and diversity in education. He is the product of a single mother, who raised three boys on a school aide's salary. She encouraged his early community service work as a Tiger Scout, Cub Scout, and Boy Scout and inspired his advocacy for educators and students. With his love of education, he served on the Auxiliary Board and the Association Board of Kingsborough Community College as well as the budget sub-committee for both boards.

At the Simon Wiesenthal Center, he advocated for legislation against hate crimes and presented anti-bullying presentations in NYC schools. He also implemented safe and secure meetup locations for the sale and trade of private goods in high-crime areas of Southern Brooklyn such as the 73rd, 69th, and 60th police precinct. He is currently working on job fairs in high unemployment areas, environmental sustainability projects, and community policing initiatives.

Steven has and knows, we can create an impact, now.
  • Steven will build upon experience serving on the Board of Directors of Kingsborough Community College to increase college access for New Yorkers at all income levels.
  • Quality housing should be affordable, safe, and sustainable. To increase affordable rental options, Steven advocates for legalizing basement rentals meeting city codes.
  • Our district is a complex web of ever-changing transportation needs. Thus, Steven strives to find the balance between commuters by car, bike, foot, and public transit.
Part of a safe community is inclusivity for everyone. Steven will work with the NYPD to increase community participation to make for better community policing efforts.
I landed my first job through the JCC of Bensonhurst's Summer Youth Employment Program at the Brooklyn Zoo & Aquarium pet store for the summer when I was 14 years old.
