Patrick Timmins
Affordability & cost of living
Leads with the cost-of-living crisis — 'affordability has become a foreign word to far too much of this country.' Would expand the EITC and child-care tax credits and create a congressional 'Food Subcommittee' to watchdog grocery pricing.
timminsforcongress.com · Policies ↗Housing
A hyper-local NYCHA focus: fight the planned demolition of buildings at the Fulton-Elliott and Chelsea Houses, demand federal repairs for the Stanley-Isaac and Amsterdam Houses, and push back on co-op and condo maintenance increases.
timminsforcongress.com · Policies ↗Health care
'Healthcare is a human right.' A universal option that preserves private insurance, expanded Medicare dental/hearing/vision, fully extended ACA subsidies, and caps on life-saving drug costs.
timminsforcongress.com · Policies ↗Immigration & ICE
Favors reform over abolition: a 'Blue Card' path to residence for long-term residents with clean records, a 25% increase in immigration judges, and ICE reforms (no masks, mandatory body cameras, stricter warrant rules).
timminsforcongress.com · Policies ↗Confronting Trump & defending democracy
Calls erosion of voting rights 'a direct assault on democratic principles' and backs same-day and automatic registration, stronger Voting Rights Act enforcement, congressional term limits, and 18-year Supreme Court terms.
timminsforcongress.com · Policies ↗Israel & the Middle East
Pro-Israel framing — 'Israel is not a genocidal country, and not an apartheid country.' Combat antisemitism using the IHRA definition while easing restrictions on Palestinian commerce and targeting Hamas's arms sources.
timminsforcongress.com · Policies ↗Climate & environment
Invest in renewables — wind, solar, nuclear, and waste-to-energy methane conversion — and rejoin the Paris Climate Accords.
timminsforcongress.com · Policies ↗Public safety & guns
Centers subway safety — two police officers on every subway train and enhanced federal public-safety funding, paired with drug-treatment and mental-health programs; would move gun cases to federal court and target trafficking source states.
