Our next ad: Randy shares his struggle to find affordable housing and why we need more tenants in Congress.

This week, we launched three new 15-second spots highlighting the New Yorkers I’ve served and the fights I’ll lead in Congress. Here’s Jennifer and Charlie on Medicare for All.

What kind of Democratic majority do we want to build? I know my answer.

Greetings from Albany where we're rallying with NYSUT to Fix Tier 6, a pension category imposed more than a decade ago by disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo that takes money of the pockets of teachers and makes it harder to recruit public workers.

The people united.

"Claire is the progressive we can trust." - Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani Our new ad is now live.

Two and a half years ago, Israeli leaders clearly stated their intent to carry out a genocide in Gaza. And that's exactly what they did. I was in the streets with so many New Yorkers protesting our complicity and to free Palestine. Antonio Reynoso stayed silent.

Not one more dollar for Israel and its genocide.

I shot this video in the parking lot of the Food Bazaar on Wyckoff earlier this evening.

When my constituents were abducted by ICE last fall, I was arrested at 26 Federal Plaza simply for trying to inspect the conditions of their detention. We will abolish ICE. And until that day comes, NYPD must not collude with this fascist agency.

For decades, we've been sold the lie that empire advances freedom and keeps us safe. Instead, it's led to violence, instability and a ruling class that reaps the profits but never pays the bill. Today we're releasing our vision for a different foreign policy.

At last night's debate, we offered a different Democratic Party: transform the economy, end the wars, serve the working class.

This year's state budget was a compromise — and deeply compromised by some of the Governor's agenda. But I was so proud to lead the effort to deliver $100 million in new funding to build out publicly-owned renewable energy right here in New York.

Our first ad of the campaign — "The Good Life" — is live.

The right is coming after queer and trans people — and anyone who stands with them. Our job isn't just to defend queer and trans people. It's to fight for everything LGBTQIA+ people deserve. Happy Pride!

I’m a union organizer, Assemblymember, and democratic socialist running for Congress in NY-07. I came to politics through low-wage jobs and the labor movement. That’s the perspective I’ll bring to Washington to take on oligarchy, fascism, and war—and win for working people.

Three weeks left. And a whole lot of doors to knock. Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani is correct: there is a link in bio. But it’s also below.

It's not just federal taxes funding Israeli apartheid. In NY, so-called charities funneling cash to illegal settlements and attacks on Palestinians get a state subsidy. The Not On Our Dime Act ends it. Proud to stand with Diana Moreno and Jabari Brisport at today's relaunch.

April ends at midnight. And we've got some serious money to raise before then. An important message from Zohran Kwame Mamdani and David Hogg 🟧 of Leaders We Deserve:

The Brooklyn Navy Yard was home to a drone manufacturer that contracted with the Israeli military and Trump's Customs and Border Protection — until New Yorkers organized, fought and won. Jabari Brisport was on the frontlines. I'm so honored to have his support.

An important message from Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Location: Daruchini Restaurant &amp; Cafe in Cypress Hills. Time: late last night. The deadline: midnight.

We know exactly what it will take to win this election. And we have four weeks left to do it. Thanks for firing us up this weekend, Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

Two points ahead, 32 days to go. Let's get to work.

More Americans want to join a union than ever. But they're up against the richest, most powerful ruling class in history—and a system that's been rigged against organized labor. Today I'm releasing my agenda to put the law on their side.

"When the full weight of the state comes down hard on you, showing up matters." A profound honor to be introduced by Mahmoud Khalil at our launch last weekend.
