"Lindsey Boylan has refused to let her abuser define her even after she helped ensure his defeat in the New York City mayor's race. On her New York City Council campaign, she wants the voices of survivors—and more broadly, the voices of marginalized communities—to come first."
"Boylan is running a sewer socialist-style campaign that has resonated beyond the Lower West Side of Manhattan. From Trump-proofing New York to supporting myriad progressive policies, her campaign feels designed to serve a diverse and inequality-riddled city."
"She has also made her intent to follow in Zohran Mamdani's footsteps clear. Like the incumbent mayor, Boylan self-identifies as a democratic socialist, is running with the backing of the Working Families Party, and is embracing big, bold ideas to make city life more affordable."
