Serving the people of New York City for over three decades has been the honor of my life. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, nothing I have accomplished would have been possible without your support.

If you vote for the same old politicians you’ll get the same bad results. If you’re hungry for real change, right now join me! I’m running for assembly to bring affordability, dignity, and change to Manhattan. 👉🏽secure.actblue.com/donate/sa…
New: Sarah Batchu, a nonprofit leader and former Bill de Blasio aide, has filed to run for AM Harvey Epstein’s seat on the east side of Manhattan.  She joins whats expected to be a competitive race. CM Keith Powers kicked off his campaign last month. cityandstateny.com/politics/…

One of the best policy minds on the NYC left, Michael Kinnucan, on why we need to vote yes on proposals 2, 3, and 4:

The ballot props support more subsidized, rent-reg housing. Rent freezes in 2015, 2016 & 2020 didn’t stop housing production. Aff housing production went up bc the market wasn’t building it on its own. W/ the recent zoning text amendment & these ballot props, we’ll build more
Who is gonna build housing when there are rent controls? Developers and investors will go elsewhere where they can charge their tenants market rate. Zohran is a blessing for Florida!!!

Clearly you’re feeling a little insecure and lashing out at @HotGirls4Zohran, but it’s not too late to fill up your face card & score one of these fab shirts so you can transform from a Murray Hill not girl into a Murray Hill hot girl!
I have yet to see a single hot girl wearing a “hot girls for Zohran” shirt

AOC: “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in QUEENS, in BROOKLYN, in THE BRONX, in MANHATTAN, in STATEN ISLAND.”

Taxes. We pay taxes. And it’s not unreasonable to ask that our tax dollars are used to help us, instead of given away to billionaires and corporations as tax breaks and subsidies to increase their wealth and pad their profits.
🚨JUST IN: Communist Zohran Mamdani reveals that he will SAVE New Yorkers $8 BILLION DOLLARS by offering FREE buses, FREE rent, and FREE childcare. Nothing's free. Where will the money come from?

No thanks! Proud to support our Democratic nominee for District 2 @Harvey4council
I urge and call upon fellow opponents of Harvey Epstein and Dem community leaders @AllieRyanNYC @sarahbatchu @AndreaGordillo @repweiner to put aside petty party politics and rally behind me as the council member of our beloved community, and together we'll restore District 2!

Hoboken did this & hasn’t had a fatality since 2017. Are we really going to let NJ show us up like that?? NYers, call your reps and make sure they sign onto @CMJulieWon’s bill
Traffic violence killed a New Yorker every 35 hours in 2024. Lives are on the line, which is why today, we're proud to announce the Progressive Caucus's endorsement of our member @CMJulieWon's lifesaving legislation - Intro 1138 - that calls for universal daylighting in NYC.

As the heat crawls to 100 degrees, things are slowing down a bit this Baruch College poll site in Gramercy. @sarahbatchu, a canidate in the lower Manhattan CD-2 race, said it’s been a busy morning. Many of the people she’s talked to today have been first-time primary voters.

Don't sleep on the City Council! No matter who wins the mayoralty, we need the 51-person council to be pushing for a New York with more than enough of what we need—more homes, transit, clean streets, and resilient infrastructure. Let's elect folks with fresh ideas and energy ✨
