Q&A with mayoral candidate State Sen. Jessica Ramos
Briefly

New York State Senator Jessica Ramos, a candidate in the mayoral race, comes from a family of activists committed to immigrant rights and labor issues. Representing Queens, she emphasizes the crisis of housing affordability and low wages, which she claims have worsened since the pandemic. With a background in community service, Ramos has held various leadership roles and is recognized as a strong union advocate. Her campaign has raised significant funding as she seeks to address pressing issues faced by all New Yorkers, especially those in working-class neighborhoods.
The crisis of affordability in our city has been well documented even before the pandemic... the common denominator is that New Yorkers are facing significant financial strains.
My parents fought for the right to dual citizenship for Colombian-Americans and founded Siempre Colombia. I credit my love for activism and public service to them.
