We must vote YES on affordable housing Every New Yorker โ€” from a renter in Crown Heights to a homeowner in Cambria Heights โ€” knows that the rent (or mortgage) is too damn high.

@drichardsqns.bsky.social is right and the council is being duplicitous: Props 2-5 are the housing reforms we need, and the public will still have a voice. Vote yes. www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/17/w...

. @drichardsqns.bsky.social knows that working class Queens residents are being displaced because we donโ€™t build enough housing. Weโ€™ve lost 200,000 Black residents over 20 years and 140,000 public school kids are homeless.

I'm proud to have invested $78+ million into Queens schools during my term to build more classroom seats, create hydroponics labs and more. But we've only scratched the surface.

Looking forward to working with you, @DOEChancellor, to give our kids the best education possible.

To all our labor leaders who joined our roundtable, thank you for sharing your ideas on expanding union opportunities and getting even more of our neighbors involved in their communities.

Better pay. Better benefits. Better conditions. That's what we're all fighting for. #1u

Now more than ever, we need a strong organized labor community that empowers the workers who propel our borough forward.

If my office's Labor Luncheon yesterday was any indication, that's exactly what we have here in Queens. You definitely won't find a bigger union town than ours.
