John,

I recently spoke with the Commercial Observer about New York City’s housing crisis, my history of work on affordable housing and community development, and my plans to make our city more affordable for New York’s working families.

Before you continue reading, please consider making a contribution to support my campaign for Mayor of New York City, so we can make this the affordable city that all our families urgently need. [[link removed]]

You can read the entire interview here [[link removed]] , but here’s a snippet I’d like to share with you:

“[Mayor Adams] promised to focus on affordability, but the rent is higher than ever, and it takes longer than ever just to place a New Yorker in an affordable housing unit.”

Mayor Adams promised to get stuff done, but he’s not getting the stuff done that matters to New Yorkers – especially when it comes to our housing crisis.

I’m ready to make NYC a more thriving and affordable city — and I have the record to prove it. Before I was elected to the City Council, I led two not-for-profit, affordable housing and community development groups, where I built hundreds of affordable housing units and led major efforts for many of the city’s successful housing policy campaigns.

In the City Council, I spearheaded critical legislation to protect tenants from harassment and displacement, provide a right to legal counsel for tenants, create safe and legal basement apartments, and combat housing discrimination.

And I championed the Gowanus rezoning, which is bringing over 8,000 new housing units to our Brooklyn neighborhood — over 3,000 of them deeply affordable — along with investments in sustainability, parks, infrastructure, culture and community space.

As Comptroller, I have the strongest affordable housing track record in the City’s recent history. This includes issuing the City’s first social bonds, generating over $1 billion to finance over 7,000 new units of low-income housing, preserving 35,000 rent-stabilized units put at risk by the collapse of Signature Bank, setting the first-ever “responsible property management standards” in the nation for investor-owned housing, and helping win $2 billion in City capital funding for “homes now, homes for generations.”

And I won’t stop there. As Mayor, job #1 will be building the housing our families desperately need, making homeownership accessible to a new generation of New Yorkers, protecting tenants, ending street homelessness of severely mentally-ill people, and making this a city where everyone has a roof over their head, in a neighborhood they’re proud to call home.

I intend to keep up this work until every New Yorker can access quality, deeply affordable housing in a livable city, and I hope you’ll join me by pitching in a few bucks to support my campaign for Mayor: [[link removed]]
