Senator for New York's 42nd District and DNC’s People’s Cabinet | The views expressed are strictly my own.
The only thing dropping faster than Donald Trump’s approval ratings is Tesla’s stock.

People are waking up and we will hold this administration accountable every day. We won’t bend the knee to a king in this country.

750+ people showed up in the small Village of Warwick because we all deeply believe in what Benjamin Franklin said in 1787 at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention: America would be a republic. If we could keep it.

We will never bend a knee to a king. Or wannabe king.

Let’s talk about the affordability in the Senate’s proposed budget. From toll relief, to senior support, to school funding, it just makes sense to invest in New York.

National Democrats have lost trust with many voters - on both sides of tough issues - because they’ve been unwilling to meaningfully engage in difficult conversations.

As Chair, I will seek common ground, lead with people’s stories, and stop letting our opponents steer the narrative.

The Democratic Party needs to go on offense.

As Chair, I will build a significantly larger team of in-house lawyers to take the fight to the Republican Party, the Green Party, and anyone trying to make it harder to vote.

As DNC Chair I will put organized labor at the front and center of our party’s leadership and message. That’s how we reconnect with working class voters.

On Day 1, we need to re-assess all vendor contracts at the DNC, from the office supplies to 7-figure deals for DC consultants.

Those resources need to go to state & county parties, and organized labor––the boots on the ground that will get folks back under our once-big tent.

One way we can get back to winning? Start sending resources to our boots on the ground: the state & local parties.

We've got to stop lighting money on fire by sending it all to the DC consultant class who've been ripping off our party for far too long. @newsnation.bsky.social

The DNC needs wholesale change to meet the moment we’re in, and the best person to deliver that is an outsider with a record of winning.

As chair, I will bring a fresh perspective and a commitment to competing everywhere.
