Top Issues

Immigration Meanwhile, we need action now: families are going hungry, seniors are choosing between rent and medication, and our immigrant neighbors are being kidnapped from our communities by masked ICE agents. It is time to put working people first. We must act now. Healthcare I am committed to universal healthcare through the NY Health Act, universal childcare, and community housing—policies that reduce structural inequities, strengthen working families, and ensure everyone, no matter their background, has a fair chance to thrive. Wages / Job Benefits I grew up in a union family, have healthcare because my wife is a union worker, and I believe that building worker and union power is a core piece of our movement to take back power for regular people against the billionaires and corporate special interests. As your State Senator, I fully pledge to use the visibility of my position to publicly support union organizing drives, contract campaigns, and strikes.
