A NEW URBAN MOVEMENT HAS EMERGED


Today we claim victory for New York's 7th Congressional District (NY7). Even though we anticipated a different outcome, we waged an unconventional, dynamic and historic election, where the incumbent faced her biggest challenge in many election cycles, diminishing her political base and setting new hopes for our people. A new urban movement has emerged and we will continue to shift.
I want to thank all the collaborators, volunteers and every single constituent that greeted me, confided in me their struggles and aspirations. With an urban vision and stern commitments, together we challenged the status quo and did so by forging new paths for civic engagement.
Our commitment with education, equality for all citizens, immigration reform, public safety, national security, health, sustainability, small business, entrepreneurship and the arts is aligned with the needs and hopes of NY7. I am committed to advance this urban agenda as we enter the next phase.
I wish to thank each and every one of you for your trust and the faith entrusted in me with your vote and desire for a new level of progress in NY7 and throughout our nation.
