Why Am I Running For Office?
Hi Everyone,
My name is Mahtab Khan (he/him). I am a Bangladeshi-American + Muslim activist and community organizer from Jamaica, Queens. I am also a tenant, Gen Z, and product of NYC public schools + CUNY John Jay College.
I am now running a grassroots campaign for New York Assembly District 24 (Jamaica, Briarwood, Oakland Gardens, Queens Village, Hollis, Richmond Hill). One of the reasons why I am running is because I realized that we've had little to no representation of BIPOC, immigrant, marginalized, and working class community members in New York Assembly District 24. I am running on a platform on environmental justice, housing justice, protection for immigrant community members, and public safety.
As New York State Assemblymember, I will be the voice for our community and help bring representation to the table. We need to give the next generation a chance to lead and be able to hold government officials accountable, ensure that there is transparency in the New York Democratic Party, and help pass meaningful legislation to address the needs of working class everyday New Yorkers.
If you have friends and family in the District, please spread the word and follow @KhanForNYC for more updates. Thank you!

Quotes That Run This Campaign
"The establishment will continue to keep the status quo and say that we can't change the system, but together we'll tell them
Yes We Khan."
- Mahtab Khan
(Democratic Candidate for NY State Assembly District 24)
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
-Mahatma Gandhi
(Peace Activist)
"This is our time to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, We Can."
-Barack Obama
(Former POTUS)
