Ashley Hinson voted for the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” CBO now projects the law will mean 13.1 MILLION fewer Medicaid enrollees by 2035, while cutting Medicaid spending by about $1.2 TRILLION over the decade. That vote has consequences. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.
