Happy Flashback Friday and last week of AANHPI month! In 2012, The Parkside Group had the privilege of working with Ron Kim on another historic first, helping him become the first ever Korean American elected to the New York State Legislature.

It’s Flashback Friday and that means it's time to look back at more of our history making candidates. In 2009, Margaret became the first Asian American woman elected to the New York City Council and the first Chinese American Council member to represent Chinatown!

The Parkside Team had a blast at the 124th Legislative Correspondents' Association Show! This time-honored tradition brings reporters, lawmakers, and state leaders together to celebrate the first amendment by poking fun at each other.

Parkside is working to elect Democrats all across the state, and we want to highlight that work, starting with State Senator Joseph Addabbo! Senator Addabbo is running for reelection because he believes Queens residents deserve to live in a safe, affordable, and clean community

Parkside VP Kalima Johnson was named to @CityAndStateNY's 2026 Nonprofit Trailblazers list!
