From her Instagram: 

"Today, I was pleased to announce more than 22 million dollars in capital allocations for cultural institutions. It is with great hopes that these dynamic arts and culture agents continue to flourish within District 35 and beyond. (Photo credit: @willalatriste)"

The press conference was at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I hope BBG benefits from this as well!

People who work at, and patronize, cultural institutions tend to vote.

So, publicizing these expenditures are a wise move.
