New York Times endorses PJ Kim for City Council

The New York Times is out with its City Council endorsements for the September 15th Primary Election. In District 1, they're backing PJ Kim:

This vibrant area from the Lower East Side to
Wall Street and TriBeCa deserves a vibrant councilmember. Newcomer Jin
“P.J.” Kim is a South Korean immigrant with degrees from Princeton and
Harvard Business School. He has worked in business and more recently
used his skills to manage and coordinate antipoverty programs. Other
candidates include the incumbent Alan Gerson, an honorable public
servant who has moved too uncertainly on vital issues; Margaret Chin, a
community activist; and Pete Gleason, an anticrime candidate with few
other credentials. We endorse Mr. Kim.

Earlier this week, the Downtown Express & The Villager (sister publications) endorsed Margaret Chin.
