Hi all, I am still in the market for a new gig. Looking for something preferably legislative or policy related (any topic) but open to any counsel jobs as well. Always looking to grow my knowledge base and learn new things. Let me know if you have any leads, thanks in advance!

Suozzi's vote is bad. He should feel bad for supporting this. You should absolutely donate to and vote for his primary opponent (me) on June 23. But I want you to vote for me with 100% correct info. Suozzi did not vote to criminalize bail funds. Here is why this bill sucks anyway: 1/8

The Queens Democratic establishment is kicking us off the ballot. They do not trust my neighbors to vote for them given another option, so they make sure there is no other option in June. The incumbent, her team and the county democrats are scared of what our campaign was building.

Cassie would like you to know that I am a good human and you should vote for me. You can find additional photos featuring Cassie at www.votewelch.com (She likes @aengelnyc.bsky.social, too.)

Yesterday, @votewelch.bsky.social and I took a brief break from getting signatures to help Friends of Little Bay Park clean up one of the beaches at the park. We could have a wonderful spot for Northeast Queens families to enjoy the ocean if we continue to help clean up the beach.

My thoughts are with the families of the two pilots who lost their lives last night and with everyone injured in this tragedy. See my full statement below.
Image is a yellow background with blue borders. Andrew Engel for State Senate District 11 logo on top. The heading reads “Statement on the LaGuardia Plane Crash.” The text below that says “Last night at LaGuardia airport, a landing Air Canada Express going 130mph collided with a Port Authority fire engine on the runway.

My thoughts are with the families of the two Air Canada pilots who lost their lives in the crash and with all of those injured. Many individuals have already been released from the hospital, and I hope all injured have a speedy recovery.”
Image is a yellow background with blue borders. Andrew Engel for State Senate District 11 logo is on top. The text reads “The NTSB has been on the scene all night and will do the important work of investigating what went wrong and how to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again.

It is vital that New York State does everything in its power to follow the NTSB findings. Congress must also expedite funding necessary Air Traffic Control infrastructure upgrades and solutions to fix our Air Traffic Controller shortage across the country. These two priorities have been neglected for far too long, we must finally see action now.”

The odds are stacked against challengers like Kat and I. In New York, we have to collect thousands of signatures within a month just to appear on the ballot. It’s designed to keep incumbents in power and prevent anyone from challenging the status quo. That’s democracy?

Next fundraising cutoff is today, March 12! Help me make the NY Young Republicans (NYYR) worries come true by chipping in $10 to help me defeat the status-quo incumbent. The NYYR think they can flip this seat if the incumbent remains, let’s prevent that from happening.

There's still time to help Andrew have a strong fundraising report! Getting to know Andrew has been one of the loveliest parts of this campaign. (If you're in NE Queens, please sign our petitions.) He is smart, kind, and cares about helping people. We'd all be lucky to have him in the NYS Senate.

Hi northeast Queens, It is almost a nice day! Come visit at Fort Totten and help me and @aengelnyc.bsky.social get on the ballot!! It's free, takes 30 seconds, and we won't sell your data or put you on lists.
Sign with blue glittery border that reads "Dems: help a mom get on the ballot" and in the corners, the phrases "Free!" and "Not selling data" appear in blue. Background is a very pretty waterfront view at Fort Totten that you should come see for yourself right now, March 8.

Trump’s attack with Israel against Iran is unconstitutional and in violation of international law. Jeffries and Schumer must take back Congress’ powers to stop this war. We are going to lose more Americans to an unjustified, illegal war.

Eastern Queens has been devoid of any true leadership for decades. We are tired of the silence from local officials in the face of Trump’s brutal regime and the rise in hate crimes. We are tired of our politicians saying “hang tight it will just get better.” No. We demand action.

We should be doing more to support our educators. Low starting salaries means trouble recruiting new teachers, which in turn increases the amount of students per teacher. This is unsustainable and unfair to our children who deserve smaller class sizes where they can truly thrive.
