Paperboy Love Prince Wins Petition Challenge and Will Remain on District 7 Ballot
Paperboy Love Prince, a 26-year-old Brooklyn native running for New York’s 7th District in the House of Representatives, successfully defended their right to appear on the ballot to the Board of Elections on Tuesday, meaning their name will officially appear beside Nydia Velazquez on the Democratic primary ballot for the District 7 Congressional Election.

The Non-Binary artist known for music videos like the recent viral ‘Yang Gang Anthem,’ defended themselves over video chat to the Board of Election after finding out that 348 of the 432 signatures Love Prince submitted were found invalid. Love Prince was well prepared to defend their candidacy and with the confidence and detail of a seasoned attorney, the congressional candidate won the Board over by proving there was an error in the paperwork filed by the challenger making it invalid.
