I am continually inspired by Zohran & AOC. FYI, I grew up in Jackson Heights and in 2016 was elected as a delegate pledged to Bernie Sanders for the DNC. I was one of the many who helped petition to get AOC on the ballot to defeat Joseph Crowley in the primary. #Affordability is non-partisan/winning
A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.
But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Brooklyn Microgrid connects people in NYC who own solar arrays (“prosumers”) with people who want to purchase local solar energy (“consumers”). Can this be promoted as a 3rd option to the public vs. private utilities debate?
