This is why we are going to win

Blessings

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friends - One of the blessings of actually being from the district, is that we already have enough voters to win. There are A LOT of people in the district who love pre-K for All, NYC-ID, the fact that we actually reduced inequality in New York City, raised the mi…

I LOVE this campaign

[ [link removed] ][IMG] I have LOVED campaigning for Congress so far. It’s like going back to my roots in nearly every sense. Some mornings I am just hanging out outside of schools talking to parents. Other days I’m out at a block party or a festival, just hanging out, talking to people.…

Some talk. Others get it done.

[ [link removed] ][IMG] As Mayor, Bill de Blasio won universal pre-K and 3-K in New York City. Who better to make the case for it in Congress? On his watch, New York City ushered in a $15 minimum wage, paid sick leave and guaranteed health care — including mental health services. Who …

[ [link removed] ][IMG] We are going to be outspent in this election. We’re taking on self-funders and people who have been collecting max-out checks for a lot longer than Bill de Blasio has ever dreamed of running for Congress. That’s fine. Because Bill de Blasio is from NY-10. This …

Here's the truth FW: Something was missing

Friend, I have to be honest: it was tough to not be on that debate stage this week. So many important topics came up -- and while we heard a lot of big ideas, there was an obvious absence of candidates who have proven they can deliver results. But here's why we're not discouraged: You've al…

Bill's plan for Puerto Rico
