Council Member
Dr. Mathieu
Eugene made
history by
becoming the
first
Haitian-born
official elected
to the New York
City Council. He
was also the
first to win his
seat
overwhelmingly
in two special
elections just a
few months
apart, causing
some to dub him
“The Haitian
Sensation.”
The reason for
Dr. Eugene’s
success is that
he has dedicated
his life to
community
service. In
Brooklyn, he has
been well known
and respected
for more than a
decade as a
community
leader,
educator, health
professional,
local media
personality and
founder of the
non-profit
organization,
YES (Youth
Education and
Sports). This
organization,
which served
thousands of
Brooklyn youth
and their
families from
diverse
backgrounds,
promoted
self-esteem,
discipline,
respect, and
skill
development in
preparation for
success in
school and life.
