Meet Tim Hunter
My name is Tim Hunter, and I am an organizer, educator, and activist that is running for public office to ensure that the people of the 43rd Assembly district have true progressive representation in Albany. I am a lifelong resident of Brooklyn, born to Jamaican parents that migrated to the borough in pursuit of a better life. My mother is a public school educator at Dr. Gladstone Atwell Middle School 61, and a 2-time public university graduate, getting her Bachelor's degree from CUNY’s Medgar Evers College, and her Master’s degree from SUNY New Paltz. Growing up, I always looked up to my mother and admired her strength and resilience. I remember watching her work 2-3 jobs throughout my youth just to make ends meet, and no matter how tired she was, she always made time to help us with our homework and encouraged us to pursue higher education. My mother’s leadership led me to follow in her footsteps as an educator, and in 2016 after graduating high school at 17 years-old I started my first job as an architectural drafting high school teacher in the NYC Department of Education.
