Biography
Kalman Yeger is the Assembly Member for District 41, elected in November 2024 after serving on the New York City Council (District 44) from 2018 to 2025, and won re-election unopposed on the Republican, Democratic and Conservative Party lines on November 3, 2026. An attorney who worked for several Brooklyn and citywide officials before running for office, he sits on the Aging, Banks, Governmental Employees, Insurance, and Small Business committees.[1][2][3][4][5]
Yeger has lived in Brooklyn his entire life, according to Wikipedia, and Ballotpedia lists him as an attorney. He earned an undergraduate degree from Touro College and a J.D. from New York Law School (2011, per Wikipedia).[6][2] Before his 2017 City Council run, he worked as senior advisor and counsel to then-Council Member David G. Greenfield and as executive director and counsel for Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.'s re-election campaign. He also served on Community Board 14 and advised several other city and state officials.[2]
Yeger became the Democratic nominee for the District 44 City Council seat in July 2017 when Greenfield, who was leaving the Council to lead the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, transferred the party line to him after the petition deadline. He won the November 2017 general election over Yoni Hikind with about 67 percent of the vote.[2][4] He represented District 44 (Borough Park, Midwood, Mapleton, Gravesend) from 2018 to 2025, succeeding Greenfield, and was re-elected in 2021 and 2023.[2]
When Assembly Member Helene Weinstein announced her retirement after 44 years in the Assembly in March 2024, Yeger confirmed to Brooklyn Paper that he would run for her seat, saying the state legislature offers 'the ability to affect broad changes'.[3] He won the June 25, 2024 Democratic primary for Assembly District 41 over Adam Dweck and was elected in November 2024 on the Republican, Conservative and Democratic lines, succeeding Weinstein; he took office in January 2025. In the 2025-2026 session he serves on the Assembly's Aging, Banks, Governmental Employees, Insurance, and Small Business committees.[2][1] He was unopposed in the November 3, 2026 general election, according to Wikipedia.[5]
