Back when he was a public high school history teacher in Brooklyn, Mark Treyger met a promising young actor, Anthony Ramos. The student went on to star in \u201cHamilton,\u201d \u201cIn the Heights\u201d and \u201cTwisters.\u201d The teacher went on to star in the New York City Council, as a member, and with the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, as CEO.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m proud to announce Treyger is taking on an additional role: member of City & State New York\u2019s Advisory Board.<\/p>\n

The 16-member board<\/a> continues to help guide City & State\u2019s coverage, weekly magazine, rankings and lists to reflect the diverse communities of our state.<\/p>\n

Treyger is a Brooklyn original, and he has joined just as we\u2019re focusing on the borough with our annual Brooklyn Power 100. Needless to say, Brooklyn is big. The borough\u2019s population alone is bigger than 15 states. Those states have 30 U.S. senators among them, but Brooklyn can\u2019t complain too much \u2013 it\u2019s home to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Treyger is somebody who\u2019s close to both of them, and is damn proud they\u2019re from Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Writing our cover story this week on Treyger\u2019s old council colleague Antonio Reynoso, I thought a lot about how much his Williamsburg neighborhood has changed over his lifetime, and how he fits in \u2013 comfortable politicking at both the older senior centers and the newer dance clubs.<\/p>\n

Treyger has also seen major changes in his slice of southern Brooklyn. It\u2019s a rare swingy area in our heavily Democratic city, and he gets the nuances. We\u2019ll be glad to hear from Treyger and the whole advisory board as we look forward to City & State\u2019s 20th anniversary this year and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back when he was a public high school history teacher in Brooklyn, Mark Treyger met a promising young…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,6492,9,24,63,299],"class_list":{"0":"post-128567","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-editors-note","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-opinion"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
