Zohran Mamdani
My name is Zohran Kwame Mamdani. I’m a housing counselor, an Indian-Ugandan New Yorker, and the Democratic Nominee for the 36th Assembly District. Our housing is unaffordable and our bills are unpayable. The reason is that big landlords and corporations have too much power, and tenants and workers don’t have enough. I want to help our neighbors take their power back.

Jabari Brisport
Brooklyn deserves better than politicians funded by corporations and policies that put the needs of the ultra-wealthy over the rest of us. Together, we can build a New York that puts people over profits.

I’m running for the Assembly to make sure nurses have a seat at the table in Albany. So that when decisions get made about our work and our lives, we will have someone who knows what it’s like to be on the frontlines.

Vanessa Agudelo
I think in the past people wanted folks that were experienced, well-connected, secure & pragmatic. But now, they want people who will stand for their values & principles & be held accountable by the people. Represent the people that you’re serving & not your special interests
