"I'm running to deliver on day one with leadership shaped by this community and accountable to working families,"
"Western Queens is home, from Little Manila in Woodside to Astoria and Sunnyside, and from rent-stabilized apartments and NYCHA to the street vendors and small businesses that keep our streets alive,"
"I'm proud of what we've delivered together as your Assemblymember, and I'm ready to keep delivering and fight even harder as your next State Senator."
Steven Raga represents Assembly District 30 and announced his run for New York State Senate District 12, engaging residents across Western Queens neighborhoods. He pledged leadership accountable to working families and praised outgoing Sen. Michael Gianaris while committing to build on tenant and progressive policy work. Raga emphasized affordability challenges in housing, healthcare, childcare, and economic stability, grounding his platform in his experience as the son of a Filipina immigrant single mother who faced eviction. Raga highlighted his background as a community organizer, Community Board 2 member, and PSC-CUNY advocate and outlined policies including expanded rent stabilization, HAVP and SHDA funding, a New Deal for CUNY, NY4All, Access to Representation, the NY Health Act, universal childcare, and an Invest in Our NY tax plan targeting the ultra-wealthy and corporations.
