Ken Biberaj is a Democratic candidate running to bring renewed energy to the New York City Council in 2013. Good News speaks to him at Sarabeth’s on the Upper West Side of New York. www.ken2013.com

Ken is a hardworking New York native who loves his community and cares deeply about our city. Ken is running for City Council for three reasons: to support the Upper West Side’s quality of life, invest in the community’s future, and stand for the values of the neighborhood.

He lives with his wife, Valerie, in the West 70s and they are expecting their first child in May. Believing in New York’s institutions, Ken joined a family business that worked to reopen the Russian Tea Room in 2006. Today, Ken serves as the Vice President of the Russian Tea Room. Ken also sits on the Culinary Council of the Food Bank for New York and as a mentor for New York Needs You, an organization that provides guidance for first generation college students.

Ken was born in New York City, his family having immigrated to the Bronx in 1968 from Albania. His father learned English while working multiple jobs to support his family. Eventually, he earned a PhD from Columbia University, going on to work at Voice of America.

Inspired by his father’s commitment to public service, Ken pursued an undergraduate degree from American University and a Master’s in Public Policy from Harvard. Upon graduating, he worked for Senator John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. Ken then returned to NYC, joined the family business, and went to New York Law School at night, earning his JD in 2008.

With years of hard work and community service under his belt, Ken believes it is time for new energy in city government.

This election is about the future of our neighborhood. We need to keep our neighborhood moving forward. Ken Biberaj embodies the bold, energetic, vibrant leadership that is the signature of the Upper West Side.

Mark Kennedy Shriver (born February 17, 1964) is a United States Democratic Party politician who served as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates for two consecutive terms, from 1995 to 2003. He currently serves as Senior Vice President of US Programs for the charity Save the Children.[1] Shriver married Jeanne Eileen Ripp (born November 30, 1965)[2] on June 26, 1992[3] and they have three children: Mary Elizabeth “Molly” Shriver (born on 1998), Thomas Kennedy “Tommy” Shriver (born 1999), and Emma Rose Shriver (b. 2005).

Shriver was born in Washington, D.C. He is part of the Kennedy political family, since his mother was Eunice Mary Kennedy. He may also be considered to be a part of the “Shriver political family”, since his ancestor David Shriver was a delegate of Frederick County, Maryland who signed the Maryland Constitution and Bill of Rights at Maryland’s Constitutional Convention of 1776, and his father is Sargent Shriver, the first director of the Peace Corps upon its establishment by President John F. Kennedy on September 22, 1961, a former ambassador to France and the 1972 Democratic Vice Presidential candidate. Mark Shriver has written a memoir about his father, A Good Man: Rediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver.[4] His sister, Maria Shriver, is a former journalist and the former First Lady of California (she was married to former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger until mid-year 2011).

Shriver attended high school at the Georgetown Preparatory School, North Bethesda, Maryland. Afterward, he earned a bachelor’s degree from the College of the Holy Cross in 1986, and a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard University in 1993.

Shriver’s godfather is former professional tennis player Donald Dell.[5]
