Fighting for NY District 10

A people-first campaign for housing, healthcare, and dignity.

A People-First Agenda for NY-10

Real solutions for the issues that matter most to families across Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan.

Too often, working families carry the burden while the ultra-wealthy find loopholes and pay far less than everyday people.

  • Close loopholes that let billionaires avoid paying taxes
  • Raise the effective tax rate on extreme wealth and capital gains
  • Use revenue to fund childcare, healthcare, housing, and transit
  • End inherited wealth advantages that entrench inequality across generations

Affordability is the central crisis facing our district. Families in Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan are being priced out of daily life.

  • Fight corporate price-gouging on food and essential goods
  • Protect and expand public transit funding
  • Expand affordable childcare and early education
  • Lower prescription drug costs through negotiation and regulation

Healthcare should never depend on your job, income, or immigration status.

  • Medicare for All — universal, comprehensive coverage
  • Full funding for mental health care and community clinics
  • Reproductive healthcare access for everyone
  • Gender-affirming care without barriers or discrimination

Seniors paid into Social Security their whole lives and should not be taxed again on the benefits they earned.

  • End federal taxes on Social Security benefits entirely
  • Protect and expand benefits for retirees and disabled Americans
  • Fight any attempts to cut or privatize Social Security
  • Ensure seniors can afford housing, medicine, and basic necessities

No one should be pushed out of their neighborhood. I support strong tenant protections and rent stabilization.

  • Major investment in permanently affordable, community-controlled housing
  • Strong tenant protections and anti-eviction policies
  • Rent stabilization to keep NY-10 residents in their homes
  • End predatory landlord practices and corporate speculation

The people who make this city run deserve power and security.

  • Strong support for unions and collective bargaining rights
  • Fair wages and overtime protections for gig and freelance workers
  • Fair taxes on corporations and the ultra-wealthy
  • Support for small businesses and worker-owned cooperatives

NY-10 is already feeling the climate crisis — from flooding and heat waves to aging, unsafe infrastructure.

  • Green New Deal creating union jobs in clean energy
  • Upgrading public housing with sustainable infrastructure
  • Protecting frontline communities from pollution and extreme heat
  • Investment in resilient flood infrastructure for Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan

Safety means housing, healthcare, and opportunity — not mass incarceration. Real public safety comes from stability and care.

  • Community-based violence prevention programs
  • Mental health crisis response teams instead of police-only responses
  • Safer streets and subways without criminalizing poverty or mental illness
  • Investment in root causes: housing, jobs, and youth programs
