    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.

    Every week should be a four-day work week. Happy Labor Day to everyone except Andrew Cuomo!

    .@SenGillibrand needs to represent all New Yorkers. Since her racist spiral proves she can’t do that, she should resign.

    Happy Valentine's Day, NYC! You know what I really love? Making our city MORE affordable, building even MORE affordable housing, and making sure EVERY New Yorker has a job... so they can treat their boo to a night out in our wonderful city. Enjoy this day with whoever you love!

    I'm disgusted by Pres. Shafik's decision to call in the NYPD to repress non-violent protesters. As a member of CU staff, I stand in complete solidarity with our students putting their bodies on the line to stop the atrocities in Gaza.

    Today, like every day, dozens of NYers and I rode a sardine-packed Q39 that crawled through traffic. It doesn’t have to be this way. The rich can pay their share, we can have fast & free buses, and we can elect @ZohranKMamdani who knows NYC should work for all of us.

    They say taxing the wealthy and powerful their fair share is impossible. They said the same thing about our campaign.

    Cuomo calls people illegal. He refuses to visit a mosque. He’s a racist, an islamophobe, and completely unfit for public office. No time for creeps New York. Rank Zohran # 1

    Many Democratic Party leaders have thus far refused to fully support Zohran and have attacked his character with baseless smears that sow ugly, racist division. Let’s be clear: they are enabling this fascist president.

    You shouldn’t have to be rich to have a life or raise a family in this city. Yet while the rich get richer, our paychecks never keep up. It’s time for billionaires to pay their fair share, and working families to take what’s ours. Vote Claire Valdez by Tuesday, June 25.

    Tonight we proved that a different kind of political vision is possible in Queens. We put tenant power on the ballot, we put stronger labor protections on the ballot, we put a ceasefire on the ballot and we put democratic socialism on the ballot. And we won. See you in Albany.✊🏽

    NYC is home to more billionaires than any other city on earth. It's clear our choice isn't between robust social services and aiding new arrivals. It's between unchecked wealth for the rich or a good life for all of us. Migrants are not a problem in NYC. Migrants are NYC.

    Saying that migrants from all over the world arriving here “will destroy New York City” is repugnant MAGA garbage. 10K a month? In 1907, that many came in a *day* — and it MADE this city. Let’s drop this demagoguery and invest in welcoming asylum seekers and getting them work.
