A campaign for New York’s 7th Congressional District centers on abolishing ICE, taxing the rich to fully fund healthcare, housing, and childcare, and confronting corporate power. The platform also calls for ending the genocide in Gaza enabled by the United States and preventing Donald Trump and allies from dismantling democracy for oligarchs. The decision to run is framed as a commitment to fight broken systems and deliver systematic change from the federal level. The top issue facing voters is described as a government that no longer works for working people, with families facing high rents, unaffordable healthcare, underfunded childcare, and an economy that rewards corporations while workers fall behind. The plan emphasizes closing tax loopholes, taxing the rich, and building a worker-first economy that supports unions and living wages.
"In Congress, I will fight to abolish ICE, tax the rich to fully fund healthcare, housing, and childcare, and stand up to corporate power wherever it shows up. I will also fight to end the genocide in Gaza that the United States has enabled and stop Donald Trump and his allies from selling our democracy to oligarchs piece by piece."
"I'm running for Congress because I know what it means to fight broken systems and win. The scale of the crises we face, whether it's housing, healthcare, or our crumbling democracy, demands that elected officials be bold, brave and always side with working people, tenants, and immigrants. The best way to do that is on a federal level, working to create systematic change that puts the power back into the hands of the people."
"The government no longer works for working people. Across NY-7, families are being crushed by skyrocketing rents, unaffordable healthcare, underfunded childcare, and an economy rigged to reward corporations while workers fall behind. We must tax the rich and close loopholes that allow mega-corporations to pay zero dollars in taxes."
"I will champion a worker-first economy that empowers unions, promotes living wages, and allows Americans to lead balanced, dignified"
