My name is Claire Valdez. I'm a democratic socialist, an artist, and a union organizer running for New York State Assembly District 37.
For generations, Queens neighborhoods have been a place where artists, hardworking families, and recent migrants could put down roots and lead vibrant, meaningful lives.
But as landlords and CEOs get richer, working people across Long Island City, Sunnyside, Maspeth, and Ridgewood are being priced out and left worrying about their futures.
I'm fighting for a Queens where everyone — from every deliverista in Sunnyside to every union nurse in Ridgewood — has what they need to thrive. Join us!
We don't take fossil fuel, real estate, or corporate money. We're supported by regular people like you.
