I spoke with Ms Yang yesterday at the Farmers Market. Here's what Ms Yang had to say.   

According to Manhattan Democrats:

A District Leader is an unpaid volunteer elected official. All formal parties in New York State are required to have at least one District Leader (DL) per Assembly District (AD). These positions are subject to primary elections every two years. This ostensibly guarantees that any party with formal status in New York State (e.g. a permanent ballot line) is democratically governed by its members. In essence, the District Leader is the representative of the party members in their district to that political party’s apparatus. 

From part one of Paul Newell’s “What’s a District Leader?“...

The bestest and happiest team @AndrewYang for Mayor and Esther Yang for District Leader UES and Roosevelt Island. No relations, just the same coolest "Yang" last name. The awesome Jai and Sahiba. We ❤ NYC more than ever ❤❤❤. #goteam #yanggang #andrewyangformayor #estheryang pic.twitter.com/P87Pb3SUVw
