Rev. Michel Faulkner’s background
InsightNY | June 16, 2010Reverend Michel Faulkner, who is running for New York’s congressional district 15th, tells David Diaz about his ministry work, and how he would implement that experience if he were to work in Congress.
An update on Michel Faulkner – It looks like he’s may be running unopposed if New Yorkers have their say and way. Due to the ugly situation that Rep. Charlie Rangel now finds himself totally immersed, Mr. Rangel doesn’t appear to have a prayer’s chance (Sorry Michel, it is too appropriate!) of re-election. Michel has had quite a full career with a heavy hand and real work ethics as outlined in the video above, detailed elsewhere, and on his site

Read here why Michel Faulkner dedicated his life to the people of Harlem by running for Congress!
For the past 22 years, I have dedicated my life to serving my community as a New York City pastor and spiritual leader. I have counseled the suffering, married couples, helped the grieving, fed the hungry and have acted as a liaison between my community and the government. This week, I took what I believe to be the next logical step in that commitment — by announcing my candidacy to become the next member to the United States House of Representatives for the 15th Congressional District.
The system in Washington, DC, is broken at a time of enormous challenges and we need real-life solutions. Solutions that are based on the community’s input and welfare, not a federal government takeover. As I speak with the people of Northern Manhattan, it is clear that they have become apathetic about democracy. When people don’t trust democracy, they don’t vote — placing political leadership in the hands of those who use political power for their personal gain.
