Sunnyside Neighborhood Association is a nonpartisan organization that does not offer endorsement for particular parties, candidates, or propositions. However, a participatory organizing event that may be of interest to some of our residents is taking place on Sunday for the Democratic Party Delegates from the two Assembly Districts (17 and 19) that cover Sunnyside.
