Honored to be serving in the The White House and humbled by this kind and unexpected letter from President Donald J. Trump Joe Biden, Vice President JD Vance Kamala Harris, First Lady Melania Trump Dr. Jill Biden and @SecondGentleman @DougEmhoff. There is a lot to be proud of over the past 2 years and so much more work to do.






Proud to endorse Keith Powers for Manhattan Borough President in the June Democratic Primary. I've known Keith for 20 years. Worked with him in the Assembly. In the Council, he's passed laws I couldn't on vehicle noise and sidewalk sheds. Donate @ contribute.nycvotes.org/campaigns/keit…



I'm proud to endorse Wil López 🇵🇷❤️. In my office, he helped pass full public matching, negotiated the law to regulate short term rentals, and helped support services for homeless in the neighborhood. The part of the UES where I lived has been redistricted. I'll be voting for him!


I'm proud to endorse Harvey Epstein. We worked together to win multiple rent freezes for 1 million+ rent regulated tenants and pass a law to create housingconnect.nyc.gov He's fought for us in Albany, now we need him in the Council!


When I endorsed in District 4 the non-participating opponent's campaign came out slinging mud and insults. Please reject politicians who exploit loopholes and hurl insults when held accountable by supporting Virginia Maloney and Faith Bondy for City Council!


You can't challenge the political machine, real estate, or the Mayor without strong candidates. That's why I'm proud to represent Edafe Okporo to get on the ballot and now endorse him. Once you visit edafe2025.com I'm sure you'll be as impressed with him as I am!



I'm proud to endorse Christopher Marte for re-election. He's been a champion fighting for affordable housing, community-led planning, and stood up to the real estate industry and the Mayor. We need to keep him in the Council to continue the fight for the soul of our city!


This should not be happening in a Democracy. No one should be handcuffed, taken without charges, and without a destination in the way that this happened. If it can happen to the Office of New York City Comptroller Brad Lander who is running for Mayor it can happen to anyone, and it has been!
