Andrea Gordillo is the latest City Council District 2 candidate to temporarily lease an East Village storefront to serve as a campaign headquarters.
In March, we noted that Sarah Batchu and Harvey Epstein rented spaces on Avenue B.
Gordillo is renting Lori McLean's former custom jewelry shop at 207 Avenue A between 12th Street and 13th Street while the landlord searches for a full-time tenant. (McLean decided to retire from running a storefront after two decades.)
I stopped by as Gordillo and her team opened the space to the public.
"This storefront will serve as more than just a headquarters — it'll be a community center and welcoming space for neighbors and visitors through Election Day," Gordillo said. "We're proud to root our organizing in the heart of the East Village."
The primaries take place on June 24. Early voting starts on June 14.
