Three of the five Democratic candidates for Helen Sears’ seat in the City Council spoke at a forum hosted by the New Visions Democratic Club in Jackson Heights Thursday, explaining why they think they should be elected, and answering questions that community members posed.

Daniel Dromm of Jackson Heights, who has been a teacher for the past 25 years, called for more emphasis to be placed on the district’s schools and on other programs for children. He promised strong support to the gay community and said he would work hard to create more green space in the area.

“In this community, it’s not that we’ve had a lack of good ideas, but that we’ve had a lack of leadership,” Dromm said. “I want to offer to people the hope that we can have things better in this community.
