Elect new district leaders.
Fix Brooklyn’s Democratic Party.
42 district leaders — on the ballot as State Committee Members — shape how our party spends money, who it fights for, and whether we actually wins elections.
Right now, our party is failing us. ICE is abducting our neighbors, Republicans killed the Voting Rights Act, and MAGA is making inroads into Southern Brooklyn, but the party spends more time protecting insiders than taking action.
But we can change that. With new leadership, we can build a party that actually shows up — engaging voters, mobilizing our communities, and fighting back against the right.
Check your district. Find your candidates. Vote by June 23rd.
Meet the New BK Dems Chair!
July 17, 2026
The Brooklyn Can’t Wait (BCW) campaign today announces that its coalition of 22 incoming District Leaders have voted to nominate and elect District Leader Julio Peña III as Chair of the Executive Committee (Party Chair) this coming September. This coalition constitutes a majority of the Kings County Democratic Party Executive Committee, and together they look forward to electing Mr. Peña as the party’s new Chair and beginning the hard work of building a new Brooklyn Democratic Party.
Brooklyn Can’t Wait was founded in 2022 by a coalition of Democratic clubs and organizations frustrated by the party’s corruption and inaction. These failures have cost Democrats in Brooklyn – and this coalition recognized the need for new leadership to build a party that does the work: turning out voters, mobilizing to achieve policy wins, and helping our communities. To this end, the coalition supported District Leader candidates in the last three primary elections to bring change to the Party.
Candidates endorsed by Brooklyn Can’t Wait won 14 seats in both 2022 and 2024. In the 2026 June primary, BCW candidates expanded these gains to win an unprecedented 22 seats. Eight candidates won competitive races, joining 14 candidates in the coalition who ran uncontested.
Now that this coalition controls a majority of the party’s Executive Committee, with this announcement Brooklyn Can’t Wait begins the process of transitioning the party to new leadership and a new vision of its future.
