The majority of the New York City Council members are new and are part of a class that is the most diverse and progressive in city history. Over the next year Brian Lehrer will get to know all 51 members. This week, Councilmember Joann Ariola, talks about her priorities for District 32, which includes Belle Harbor, Breezy Point, Broad Channel, Howard Beach, Lindenwood, Neponsit, Ozone Park, Richmond Hill, Rockaway Park, Roxbury, South Ozone Park, West Hamilton Beach and Woodhaven.

As part of our City Council series, we're asking council members to share a photo for 'Show and Tell.' Council Member @JoannAriola32 shared a picture of her late father, Paul Ariola. She said he taught her to always put community first. pic.twitter.com/1mBZVWqRmQ
