People are listening to us, John

John, We have multiple phone banks scheduled this week to reach out to NY-16 voters, including a brand-new phone banking slot on Tuesdays. We're happy to be in a position where we need to increase the number of phone banks because it means that this movement that we're buildi…

Sign now: A debate between myself and Eliot Engel

The people of NY-16 deserve to hear what their Congressman - or their next Congressman - will do to solve their problems, especially during a time like now. John, Since our campaign went 100% virtual, I've spent so much time talking to and checking in on the folks in my distri…

We need to step it up

We're so close to meeting our goal, but we’re not quite there yet. John, We'll get straight to the point with some great news: right now, we're 91% of our way to meeting our $25,000 end-of-month goal! The not-so-great news? We're still $2,250 behind where we need to be, and …

I'm concerned, ​John​

This is our chance to take NY-16 back for working-class families instead of the wealthy few. John, this is unbelieveable. The NY Board of Elections just announced that it will remove Sen. Bernie Sanders from the primary election ballot, officially canceling our state's presid…

On the issues:

Jamaal's not running against Eliot Engel just because. John, It takes a lot to beat an entrenched incumbent. It's hard work, every single day. But Jamaal is taking on Eliot Engel because it has to be done. For 30 years, Engel has sided with the likes of Wall Street, weapons …
