Last week, we made a promise to this community. We would stop waiting for politicians to come to us and start putting members of our community in the room where decisions get made.
This week, we kept that promise.
We launched the first week of our Candidate Roundtable Initiative, reaching out directly to congressional candidates across New York’s 6th through 15th districts. Our ask was simple: sit down with us, talk to the members in your district and tell us where you stand.
The majority of them said yes.
Who We Met With This Week
Chuck Park (NY-6)
Brad Lander (NY-10)
Jack Schlossberg (NY-12)
Vichal Kumar (NY-7)
Michael Blake (NY-15)
Claire Valdez (NY-7)
Julie Won (NY-7)
Grace Meng (NY-6)
We’ll continue these conversations next week with the rest of the candidates who accepted our invitation. Stay tuned for our upcoming Voter Guide for the full results of these conversations and our advocate-assigned confidence ratings for each candidate!
