“Yesterday’s seismic election results made it clear that New Yorkers trust candidates who fight for our communities’ needs, not corporate interests, political machines, and backroom deals. Our communities summarily rejected dog whistles and blatant racism demonstrated by some of the campaigns that lost. Fascism is in our midst, and I proudly stand by my neighbors in choosing unity and hope to resist division and fear.
These exciting victories show that the people-powered movement stands on solid ground. I welcome this new generation of Congressmembers, State Senators, and Assemblymembers, and look forward to working with them to deliver the bold, working-class agenda that I’ve proudly worked on throughout my sixteen years serving the Bronx. New Yorkers deserve single-payer healthcare with the New York Health Act, fully funded schools and childcare programs, and support for families instead of foreign wars and tax cuts for billionaires. Pa’lante, indeed.”
