My dad is the right person for the job

There’s nothing I want more than a mayor who will give everything they have to make our city safer, more affordable, and better-run.   Hi John – It’s Rosa, Brad Lander’s daughter! In the past, I’ve often referred to my dad as a nerd. It’s true! You’d be hard pressed to find someone …

Facts

  Here’s a fact for you, John: 77% of people who receive this email won’t open it. It’s true! Most people don’t open our campaign emails, and an even smaller percentage actually chip in to support Brad. That’s what makes your support for this campaign all the more important, especi…

This fight is personal for me, John

  I love New York City, John. This is where I’ve put down roots, raised my kids, and sent them to our public schools. My life’s work has been about making this city a place where every single New Yorker can not just survive, but thrive. For years, I poured my energy into housing ju…

Gross, even by Cuomo’s standards

  John, Today, I’m calling out Andrew Cuomo for selling out New York City workers and bankrolling his campaign with contributions from anti-labor, multi-million dollar companies. I’ll explain more in a second, but first, can you chip in any amount to support my campaign and kick c…

Make a weekly donation, John?

Let’s do some math together.   Hi John, let’s do some math together. $5 a week for the next 6 weeks = $30 total from you. With NYC’s 8-to-1 public match = $270 impact by June 24. That’s not a gimmick. That’s how New York City’s campaign finance system works – matching every small-d…

My plan to protect consumers

  John, Our city is facing an affordability crisis, plain and sample. But here’s the truth: a lot of this isn’t just inflation – it’s corporate greed and sheer recklessness. Junk fees, price hikes, predatory loans, and monopoly power are draining people’s wallets, while billion-dol…

I’m running for mayor to build a safer, more affordable, and better-run New York City for all.   John, Too often, it feels like Black New Yorkers have done more for New York City than New York City has done for Black New Yorkers. Black communities have been let down – by a racial …

“DOJ admits case against congestion pricing in NYC is weak”
