Election results are in: Dr. Mathieu Eugene was elected to the
City Council yesterday, becoming the Council’s first Haitian-born
member. He will take the seat vacated by Yvette D. Clarke after her
election to Congress in November. Dr. Eugene, a physician
who runs a youth program in Brooklyn, led in a special election
that included 10 candidates in a Council district with a large number
of Caribbean-American voters.
