We assume NY is progressive because it's Blue, but we're represented by Reps that oppose progressive policies that are overwhelmingly supported. ( @DataProgress )

🌎 #GreenNewDeal 64%-20%
🏥 #MedicareForAll 59%-24%
🏠 #HomesGuarantee 62%-21%

With the exception of @AOC, NY Reps survive by their corporate donors pumping $millions into their campaigns to push policies benefiting the super-rich at the expense of hard working NYers.

💰That's why 70% of NYers support corruption reforms.

We need to break the false narratives from corporate-funded think tanks & politicians that the solutions we need are "impractical," when they are absolutely feasible, necessary & popular. They are prioritizing donations over the wellbeing of people.

I'm running in #NY3 (NE Queens, N Nassau & Huntington) but my race, and every race, affects everyone across the country.

Please, chip in if you can to support my campaign.
Every 💵 matters since I'm 🚫corporate💰
