Yonkers City Councilman Visits CW

As part of Prof. Noel D’Allacco’s Business Etiquette & Customer Service class, City of Yonkers Council Member, Christopher Johnson talked to students about different topics including the importance of being registered to vote. During Q&A session, Johnson heard students’ concerns which included current political environment in Washington, D.C., tuition costs, his daily routine as a councilmember and how exactly the electoral system actually works. Johnson divided the class into different groups to show how a small group of voters can affect a large group of people who do not go out to vote.

Johnson was elected at the age of 27 into the Yonkers City Council, and has taken active roles in many organizations in the area. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Long Island University-C.W. Post Campus and a Master’s Degree in Education from Fordham University. Johnson was born and raised in The Bronx with deep family roots in Yonkers spanning several generations.
