While women do lead the way in voter turnout in <span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span>, there is still a significant gap in representation of their voice and political choice at the ballots. <\/p>\n<p>The candidates, in alphabetical order, participating in the SHEROES OF NY campaign are: <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Manhattan Borough President <span class=\"xn-person\">Gale Brewer<\/span> (D) &#8211; Manhattan Borough President\n<\/li>\n<li>Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R) \u2013 Mayor\n<\/li>\n<li>Councilwoman <span class=\"xn-person\">Margaret Chin<\/span> (D) &#8211; City Council, District 1\n<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"xn-person\">Vanessa T.
