Together We Can.

"I am running to bring a fresh approach, real accountability, and bold solutions to a system that has failed us for too long. This campaign is about action—not empty promises—ensuring every dollar is spent wisely, and every community member’s voice is heard. TOGETHER, WE CAN make our district the model for change, proving that when people demand better, real progress happens."


                         -Fedir Usmanov, Candidate for New York City Council District 47

Why Am I Running for Office?

I’m not running for a title - I’m running to fix what’s broken. Our community deserves better than recycled promises and status quo politics. We need a fresh approach, real accountability, and leaders who put people over politics.

I’m focused on deliverables - not talking points. Affordability, education, public safety, transportation, and support for small businesses aren’t optional - they’re essentials. The real challenge is making sure every dollar spent actually improves people’s lives. That’s what I’m here to fight for.

I’ve worked hard to earn every opportunity I’ve had, being recognized as a top student in my field, accepted to leading graduate programs, and offered competitive roles at respected firms. But instead of following the comfortable path, I’ve chosen to stay and serve. I believe this is the moment to use my knowledge, energy, and passion to drive real change where it matters most: right here in our neighborhoods.

I’m not here to play political games. I’ve seen families pushed out by rising rents, small businesses shuttered by red tape, and young people forced to leave because they can’t see a future here. I’ve seen seniors struggle to age with dignity and parents fight for basic services. That’s not just a policy failure - it’s a moral one. We need bold, practical solutions that make our city livable, affordable, and full of opportunity for everyone who calls it home.

I know some in power don’t want me to run. They fear someone who isn’t part of the machine - someone who isn’t controlled by big donors or political insiders. But I have something more than that: the support of everyday people who are ready for something different.

This campaign isn’t just about winning - it’s about proving that we can demand better. If you're tired of broken promises and rising costs, join me. Let’s build a city that listens, delivers, and puts people first.
