Housing and tenant protections

Calls housing and tenant matters the district's biggest issue and says preserving existing affordable housing, including Mitchell-Lama, is vital alongside building new units. Says he secured $10 million for the Amalgamated Housing Cooperative and $1 million for Park Reservoir, and that the pandemic eviction moratorium he passed saved thousands from eviction.

Buses, subways and bridge tolls

Says he has pushed for more buses and better service, especially on the Bx10, and sponsored a bill passed in 2018 to keep MTA funding from being used for other state expenses. Sponsors bills for MTA half fares for veterans and for rider representation on the MTA board, and says he secured a full Henry Hudson Bridge toll rebate for Bronx residents in 2019.

School funding and college tuition

Supports increasing state aid to New York City schools to address historic funding inequities, and lists public school funding among his priorities. Sponsors a bill for tuition-free SUNY, CUNY and community colleges, and sponsored the 2026 law letting veterans transfer unused tuition awards to eligible immediate family members.

Health care and medical aid in dying

Co-sponsored the Medical Aid in Dying Act, law since 2026, and sponsored a 2024 law requiring nursing homes to post more ratings and a camp vaccination bill that passed both houses in 2026. His campaign says he co-sponsored the single-payer NY Health Act and was main sponsor of the law removing non-medical school vaccine exemptions.

Climate, energy and utility costs

Lists policies to mitigate climate change among his priorities. Voted for 2024 laws making companies that contributed significantly to greenhouse gas buildup pay a share of climate adaptation costs and requiring EV charging in certain new construction, and sponsored a bill creating a state utility consumer advocate that the governor vetoed in 2025.
