Now more than ever, we need elected officials who will listen to our concerns and bring about the progressive change we’re calling for. And to ensure that we have those leaders in power, we have to vote for them.

As Election Day draws closer, I want to make sure you have everything you need to cast your vote safely and securely:

First, visit iwillvote.com to make sure you're registered to vote and that your voter registration is up to date.

Next, apply for your mail-in ballot at nycabsentee.com for NYC or absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov for New York State to ensure you get your ballot in time for Election Day.

It's not an understatement to say this election is the most important we've seen in decades, and whether you're voting by mail, early, or on Election Day, your vote will make a difference. With exactly six weeks to go until Election Day, every single minute counts. I'm counting on you to make your voice heard.
