Johnson is committed to fully funding public schools, expanding after-school programs, creating career pathways, and making universal childcare a reality. She supports taxing the rich to fund free childcare for every New Yorker aged six weeks to five years.

Queen Johnson supports keeping families in their homes by protecting homeowners from predatory investors, deed theft, and foreclosures, expanding opportunities for first-time homebuyers, strengthening tenant protections, investing in NYCHA, defending rent stabilization, and creating a Social Housing Development Authority to build and preserve affordable housing with union labor. She also opposes privatization of Mitchell-Lamas and NYCHA units.

Johnson advocates for safer streets through investing in youth programs, mental health services, quality-of-life improvements, and community-based policing where neighbors help keep their neighborhoods safe.

Johnson's campaign does not take a dime from corporate PACs, real estate, or fossil fuel money, emphasizing a people-powered grassroots campaign.

Johnson will fight to protect immigrant communities by strengthening New York’s sanctuary laws, increasing oversight of local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and expanding access to legal services to protect families from harmful ICE practices.

Johnson will fight for commercial rent stabilization to protect small business owners from predatory rent hikes, and expand access to grants and low-interest funding to support locally owned businesses.
