Lee Zeldin has shown time and time again that he’s going to put Donald Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda above the interests of New Yorkers. We must elect @KathyHochul to protect our democracy and keep our state moving forward.
Lee Zeldin is fighting for Donald Trump — not New Yorkers. We will reject their dangerous and extreme agenda on November 8. Watch our new TV ad ⬇️

I SUPPORT YOUR DECISION @GovKathyHochul ! Of pausing the “Congestion Pricing Toll”. At this moment congestion pricing will negatively impact our businesses and the state economic. Low-income hardworking families would compete with going to work or putting food on the table.

@JCColtin Congressman Espaillat has served his district as a true advocate for all his constituents, regardless of race or ethnicity. This type of language is inflammatory and racist, and only seeks to further divide our communities. @RepEspaillat.

Our outdated laws force NYers to rely on toxic fracked gas. By passing #NYHEAT, we can deliver:. ✅healthier air .✅lower bills.✅reliable, clean heating & cooling. I’m calling for NY HEAT to be passed in the budget. @RenewablHeatNow #CleanerHeatLowerBills

The Federal, State, and City had failed public housing for years. $0 dollars in the state budget it’s not acceptable. We need $3.4 billion in capital funds, $2.8 billion in operating funds for NYCHA, and $1 billion outside NYC.

I joined my colleagues and @RAPPcampaign to call for #ParoleJustice in our state. For too long, families have been torn apart and held long after serving their minimum sentence. #ParoleJusticeNY.
Assm Member @YudelkaTapia: The Bronx is disproportionately impacted by mass incarceration. For decades our families have been torn apart & held long after serving their minimum sentence. Passing these bills will move us toward a system that values transformation over punishment.

“We will take our seat back” AM Inez Dickens said about Rep. Adriano Espaillat’s #NY13 “to become a Black seat.” He is Dominican, but it “was carved out to be represented by a Black. Not a person of color. But a Black.”. New chapter in the ongoing Espaillat-Wright Harlem rivalry.
