Halting traffic arrests is not enough. Latino immigrants are being hunted down and murdered in cold blood. Children are being orphaned and traumatized by your tax dollars. Abolishing this barbaric violence is the bare minimum and first step required to restore justice for immigrant communities.

New York “charities” are funding Israeli settler organizations that ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homes. Our state is complicit. But the tide is turning. Last month, 26 supporters of the Not On Our Dime! Act won their primaries. We have an obligation to pass this bill next session.

Dishonest reporting from @elizabethkim.bsky.social suggesting NYC-DSA is anti-latino and anti-black. However Claire Valdez performed quite well in Hispanic precincts in NY7, beating Reynoso easily. The story was the opposite uptown in Darializa's race.

We don't need to choose between protecting tenants and building more housing. Between fighting for NYCHA residents and homeowners. Between leading with the values that got us here and addressing the housing crisis.   Block by block, we can do it all.

@jumaane.bsky.social knows first-hand what we're up against in securing our city from corporate greed and making it work for workers. I'm honored to have the Public Advocate's endorsement and know we'll deliver true affordability for all our neighbors in AD-38, Queens, and across NY.
NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams endorses David Orkin for Queens in Assembly District 38 with portraits of Williams and Orkin side-by-sideQuote from Jumaane Williams, NYC Public Advocate: "David Orkin is a consistent defender of immigrant workers who understands that housing is a human right, ICE has no place in our streets, and that our working-class neighborhoods in Queens deserve a representative who cannot be intimidated by big money or special interests. I am proud to stand with David because he’s spent years doing the work on the ground in Queens. Now, it’s time to bring that fight to the State Assembly."

Our lawsuit against Jenifer Rajkumar’s campaign has just begun. Despite the Rajkumar campaign’s highly misleading statement, today’s report from the BOE did not rule on fraud, and we look forward to pursuing our case at the Queens Supreme Court as planned.
STATEMENT ON THE BOARD OF ELECTION CLERK’S REPORT

The Rajkumar campaign’s recent statement is deliberately misleading. It implies that our legal case against them has been settled, when in reality, the case has just begun. The question of fraud has not yet been addressed, and will be heard by the Queens Supreme Court in the coming weeks. 

Here’s where we’re at, what it means, and what you can expect. 
Today, the Clerk of the Board of Elections (BOE) released a report regarding our initial objections to Assemblymember Rajkumar’s petition signatures. 

The report stated that 1,064 signatures on Jenifer Rajkumar’s petitions were invalid for some basis other than fraud. The BOE only looks at the questions of whether the petition signatures themselves were executed correctly (criteria include correct dates and addresses,  residency in the district, Democratic party enrollment, etc.).

The BOE does NOT look at the question of fraud; the question of fraud is solely within the jurisdiction of the Queens Supreme Court.  

The report also indicates that there are 1,168 instances of potential fraud that the Clerk did not rule on. 

The Court will hear our case and address the questions of fraud in the coming weeks. We look forward to a transparent process to uncover what we believe to be the largest case of confirmed petition fraud in recent New York City history.

If you live in AD 38, did not sign our opponent’s petition, and are concerned your signature may have been forged, please reach out to info@david4queens.com.
