Where they stand
Affordability & cost of living
'A New York We Can Afford' — says families are 'getting nickel-and-dimed at every turn.' Would reverse Trump tariffs with a direct federal refund, expand the Child Tax Credit and EITC, cap child care at 7% of income, guarantee six months of paid parental leave, and ban junk fees.
Housing
'Housing is a human right.' A supply-heavy seven-point plan: declare a national housing emergency, repeal the Faircloth Amendment to unfreeze public-housing construction, modernize NEPA to fast-track affordable and transit-oriented projects, reform HUD's income formula to reflect real NYC wages, fund the NYCHA backlog, and tax speculatively held land.
Health care
Backs a universal single-payer system via Medicare for All, expanded drug-price negotiation, drug importation, and capped insulin and out-of-pocket costs.
