“Yesterday’s seismic election results made it clear that New Yorkers trust candidates who fight for our communities’ needs, not corporate interests, political machines, and backroom deals. Our communities summarily rejected dog whistles and blatant racism demonstrated by some of the campaigns that lost.”
(Official legislative newsroom (nysenate.gov)) “These exciting victories show that the people-powered movement stands on solid ground. I welcome this new generation of Congressmembers, State Senators, and Assemblymembers, and look forward to working with them to deliver the bold, working-class agenda that I’ve proudly worked on throughout my sixteen years serving the Bronx.”
