It's official: I’m running for Congress.
The president is running a 21st-century version of authoritarianism while Democrats run a 20th-century playbook. I'm running to recode Washington—to fight for our democracy and deliver real results for NY-12.

Jordan Neely was murdered*. It was the inevitable result of the continued dehumanization of people suffering from mental illness. The fact that his killer was cheered and even assisted by others on the subway is sickening. They must be held accountable.
New York failed Jordan.
NEW: 26 members of the @NYSenate have signed on to the NYSLWU Solidarity statement, affirming our right to organize and pledging not to retaliate against any worker exercising that right.
Thank you for your solidarity!
