In the NYS Senate, Brad Hoylman-Sigal protected tenant’s rights, worked to make our streets safer & defended civil liberties of all NYers. As Man. BP, he's fighting every day to make our city affordable & equitable for all. I'm honored to receive his endorsement in this race!
We made a promise to 9/11 survivors, first responders, and their families that we'd always take care of them. But the World Trade Center health program is about to face a $3 billion funding gap.
We can't break our promise to these families. Congress must close the funding gap.
This city was not built with clean streets in mind. But having lived through some of the worst and dirtiest times in this city's modern history, I see a department that is really working to make it better.
Had a few frustrating conversations this weekend that made it clear a certain cocktail-party set is repeating tired old talking points about @NYCSanitation and our commitment to street cleanliness. Rather than just stew about it, sharing a few highlights from the last six months:
As the official Democratic Club of the Manhattan portion of the 61st Assembly District, DID congratulates Aaron @TheJudge44 on his 61st Home Run!
He's welcome in our Canyon of Heroes anytime.
Have fun, meet great people and Help Save Democracy and our fundamental rights on 9/24 on a Vote Blue 2022 Bus to NY or PA. Training, materials, lunch and new friends to canvass with provided. See more: https://t.co/cgdx5OFXpw
I'm thrilled to announce my new Co-District Leader in 65C, @MariamaJames.
Mariama is a lifelong Downtowner and a champion for strong neighborhoods and added & preserved affordable hosing. She's also the 1st Black DL from Lower Manhattan. I have no doubt she'll do us all proud.
Those opposing Int 175 claim there’s a “labor shortage”. But the best way to address it is to end the inhumane 24h workday. In case the opponents forget, immigrant women of color are human beings, too. They don’t like bad jobs that would kill them. #nomore24
Congratulations to @danielsgoldman and @BrianKavanaghNY on their Primary wins. DID looks forward to working closely with them to create an ever-better Lower Manhattan.
We also thank and compliment @VittoriaNYC and @JoAnneSimonBK52 on their positive, community-based campaigns.

Sending you my heartfelt congratulations on your swearing in to serve on the New York City Council, @ChrisMarteNYC!
Looking forward to working with you to better the lives of all who call our city home. 🗽
