Campaign Insiders: A Q&A with AD-65 Candidate Mariama James
"Ensure stable and secure housing for all residents; fully fund healthcare and Medicaid to guarantee access to essential services; and invest in programs that support both youth and seniors to strengthen community well-being across generations."
"I decided to run for State Assembly after decades on the frontlines of housing and public health. I've helped tenants fight unsafe conditions, expand affordable housing, and improve access to care in underserved communities. Those local wins showed both what's possible and where current state policy falls short. I'm running to turn proven, community-driven solutions into statewide action that ensures every New Yorker has safe housing and access to quality healthcare."
"Housing security is the top issue facing voters. Too many families are struggling with displacement and unsafe conditions. In Albany, I will fight for permanent affordability by expanding truly affordable housing, expanding tenant protection laws, and increasing funding for maintenance of NYCHA facilities. I'll also push for long-term housing security so that residents who want to age in place can stay in their homes for life."
