Michael Schnall
49th Council District - Staten Island
Mike grew up on Staten Island, a proud product of the public school system. He's a father, husband, runner, neighbor, and friend. He worked in the City Council and served in the Bloomberg administration with NYC Parks. He worked to draft and pass family-friendly legislation, build and refurbish parks and playgrounds, and secure funding for open spaces and recreation amenities in all corners of our borough and city.
He's a senior leader at a large non-profit, creating and providing free programming to all age groups. He started his own non-profit, and helps those in need by fundraising for our front line defenders, food banks, youth, and veterans.
Mike prides himself on serving those in need, giving a voice to the voiceless, and championing the underdog.
This campaign, and the potential to serve in the Council, is a continuation of his service. With his experience in government and the non-profit world, and his work in underserved communities in Staten Island and across New York City, Mike is uniquely positioned to be able to help the north shore district, and the City, in a post-COVID world.
Mike has never stopped serving the people, and he'll continue that service every day, with 100% of his energy, conviction and passion. He's proud of his record of service, and his sometimes unconventional approaches to everyday problems.
