I’ve decided to end my campaign for Governor of New York. After much consideration, I’ve concluded that there simply is no viable path forward.

You don’t get to call yourself pro-labor while kneecapping nurses fighting for fair pay and safe staffing. That’s not solidarity. That’s donor service. NYers deserve leaders who choose the people, every time. That’s why I’m running for Lt. Governor.

I stand with working people. Period. Especially the @nynurses.bsky.social on strike right now. I’m a nurse. I’ve seen what happens when hospitals put profits over patients, and when politicians like Kathy Hochul help them get away with it.

Inside the New York State Democratic Party convention, they talked about who we’re fighting against. Outside, in the cold, we were clear about who we’re fighting for: striking @nynurses.bsky.social and the people who are tired of corporate greed all across New York.

Inside the New York State Democratic Party convention in Syracuse: a rubber-stamp coronation for Kathy Hochul and Adrienne Adams. Outside the convention hall: @nynurses.bsky.social on day 26 of their strike, because the governor’s order lets hospitals hire replacement nurses.

Ignoring New York’s housing crisis, despite your own comptroller sounding the alarm, is negligent. The REST Act would make it easier for municipalities outside NYC to adopt rent stabilization. And yet it sits. Why? Ask the real estate lobbyists. www.osc.ny.gov/press/releas...

The group is named "Citizens for Affordable Rates." What she's proposing would cap insurance payouts if you're hurt in a car accident, in the hopes that car insurance companies, out of the goodness of their hearts, will lower their monthly premiums. Be serious, Hochul.

The reason that NYSNA is asking Governor Hochul to support the striking nurses is that Hochul recently issued an executive order that makes it easier for the hospitals to hire strikebreaker staff—which, to state the obvious, makes it harder for the strike to succeed. www.op.nysed.gov/governor-hoc...

In December, Gov. Hochul vetoed the New York Health Information Privacy Act, leaving sensitive health data open to exploitation. That puts trans New Yorkers seeking gender-affirming care at risk as the federal government ramps up its attack on the transgender community.

Zohran is right: NYC has a $12B gap because Eric Adams under-budgeted by at least $10 billion. The good news is that the fix is simple, for the money's here—in the form of 2% more to collect from NYC's $1M+ incomes. Our task: move Hochul by making @delgadoforny.bsky.social popular.
