Gay NYC Council Member's Event Casts Light on Anti-LGBTQ+ Crimes
“Eric Bottcher I’ve known since he served on the City Council as a staff member, and he’s touched my heart on many occasions,” New York State Attorney General Letitia James said as the first to speak at a fundraiser for gay City Council member Eric Bottcher. Bottcher, 42, has represented the Third District of New York City, including Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Flatiron, Times Square, and the Theater District, since January. He’s now up for reelection in 2023.
