A Heimishe Election Poster
This Yiddish poster in a Borough Park storefront boosts the candidacy of John Heyer for City Council in the 39th C.D. which stretches from Carroll Gardens to that neighborhood. Meanwhile, Yiddish-language posters for Steve Levin, a candidate in the neighboring 33rd C.D., were seen in Hasidic Williamsburg.

Why are posters like this written in Yiddish?
Do they presume the voters cannot understand English?
