The Working Families Party has fought for a more affordable New York for decades. I am honored to lead their slate as their first choice for Mayor.
Our city is done with the corrupt politics of the past and ready for a new generation of leadership. Let’s win it together.

To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

The City is asking nonprofits to provide essential human services on its behalf. It’s criminal that payments are delayed for so many, by so much.
We just published our annual report on NYC contracts for $32.25 billion of goods & services procured in 2024 — a transparent, detailed overview of the largest contracting jurisdiction in the US — and registration delays continue to persist at worrying levels.
