Susan Zhuang (Chinese : 莊文怡 ; pinyin : Zhuāng Wényí ) is an American politician who is a member of the New York City Council for the 43rd district , which covers Sunset Park , Dyker Heights , Bensonhurst , Bath Beach , Gravesend , Borough Park , and other neighborhoods in southern Brooklyn .
Early life and education
[ edit ]
Zhuang was born in Baipu , a small village in China , and came to the United States in 2008 as a student. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from the State University of New York at Oswego and later a Master of Business Administration from the University of Southern Indiana .[1]
Career
[ edit ]
Zhuang previously worked as chief of staff for New York State Assemblyman William Colton .
New York City Council
[ edit ]
Zhuang announced her campaign for the 43rd district, a newly created Asian-majority seat. While campaigning, Zhuang told a voter in Mandarin that her ideas aligned with the Republican Party and that she was running as a Democrat out of convenience.[2] Zhuang's election marked the first time the area had been represented by Asian Americans in both chambers of the New York State Legislature as well as the New York City Council ; though policy and political differences between New York State Senator Iwen Chu , Republican Assemblyman Lester Chang , and Zhuang persist.[3] In office, Zhuang has been described as a conservative Democrat .[4]
Zhuang and Colton led a large protest against a proposed homeless shelter location in Gravesend .[5] On July 17, 2024, Zhuang was arrested and accused of biting NYPD Deputy Chief Frank DiGiacomo during a protest against a homeless shelter.[6] She was soon released on bail and she provided no explanation.[7]
