A Manhattan businesswoman is seeking one of three seats on the city commission, citing a desire to serve the underserved.

Amber Starling has been an active and vocal participant in city meetings for the past year.

“I walk the walk,” she said. “I’m a living-wage employer who built my business from scratch, and I’ve contributed over a million dollars in payroll and benefits to this community. I volunteered, advocated and donated wisely for the entire eight years I’ve been in business.”

Starling is the founder and owner of Good Witch Cleaning Services, which she started in 2017, at the age of 24.
