Joshua Bristol

Wages / Job Benefits He will work to make unionization efforts easier, simpler, and safer for organizers. Joshua will continue to stand with workers wherever they are building power. Housing Our goal is simple: long-term affordability, strong public investment, and real power for the people. Housing should provide stability - not windfalls for investors. Foreign Policy Our foreign policy needs to prioritize rights to self-determination, to life, dignity, diplomacy and human rights - not blank checks for war. Infrastructure / Transportation Affordable & Accessible Transportation for All. Housing Josh will fight to expand Section 8 vouchers, expand rent controls, and strengthen federal tenant protections against unjust evictions and rent gouging. Josh will work to prevent property owners from leaving their properties empty and fight to bring about an end to homelessness. Taxes / Budget Joshua understands that the billionaires have gotten out of control. He aims to modify the tax code to 70 percent marginal tax rate in the district, and desires reforms to capital gains and inheritance taxes. Joshua supports tax hikes on earnings or valuations greater than one billion dollars. Society has a need for that money. Environment / Energy We must invest in grid modernization and community solar, expand federal transit funding, and enforce aggressive pollution standards on major emitters. Polluters should pay for cleanup and climate resilience - not Brooklyn families. Healthcare Medicare for All. Immigration JOshwill work to abolish ICE as a deportation force, end private immigration detention, create a more accessible pathway to citizenship, protect Dreamers and TPS holders, and guarantee due process in immigration courts. We must put an end to programs that turn local police into immigration agents. Environment / Energy Josh will push to fully fund NYCHA retrofits so housing is energy-efficient, mold-free, and resilient during heat waves and storms.
