Senator Rivera is a proud supporter of the Invest in Our New York (IONY) campaign, a series of proposals that would make billionaires and corporations pay their fair share. He sponsors one of the bills in the package, S.1439, which would establish a fair tax on long-term capital gains for the top 1%. We must make New York affordable for all New Yorkers, not just billionaires.

MAYOR MAMDANI AND THE OFFICE TO PROTECT TENANTS HOST FIRST EVER RENTAL RIPOFF HEARINGS
In January 2026, Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed Executive Order 08, establishing NYC's first-ever "Rental Ripoff Hearings." These hearings will give New Yorkers across all five boroughs a direct platform to share their housing experiences in conversations with City officials to help shape housing policy. New Yorkers can discuss the challenges they face, from poor conditions and repair delays to unconscionable business practices and non-rent fees. City leaders from agencies focused on tenant stability, housing quality, and consumer protection will be there to listen. This is your chance to tell City government what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change.
Registration is required. You can attend at any borough location. If you cannot attend a hearing, there will be options for submitting digital testimonies soon. |
