<p>Vanessa Aronson, who came in second in a tight CD 4 primary in June and is former president of the Lexington Dem Club, has announced that she’s running for Alex Bores’s Assembly seat next year. Heavily armed with a roster of endorsements from local and statewide Democratic leadership, Aronson will be participating in the state’s matching funds program.</p>

<h2>Affordable Communities &amp; Housing</h2>

<p>Vanessa Aronson is jumping into the race to succeed Assemblymember Alex Bores months after her narrow second place finish to Virginia Maloney in a Democratic City Council primary on the east side of Manhattan.</p>

<h4>When One Door Closes</h4>

<h4>Petitioning Kickoff Rally</h4>

<p>Come join us for a petitioning kick-off rally at Ruppert Park on Saturday 2/28 at 1:00pm! We will be joined by very special guests including elected officials, campaign partners, and supporters to talk about the importance of the upcoming election. We will be collecting petition signatures in the park after the rally!</p>

Petitioning Kickoff Rally

<p>Vanessa Aronson is a shoo-in to fill Alex Bores’ Assembly seat on the east side of Manhattan. That isn’t&nbsp; a political analysis of a crowded field, but the facts – Aronson is the only Democrat running who has filed petitions for the open seat.&nbsp;This means there won’t be a primary, and Aronson will be the Democratic party’s nominee on the ballot in November in a district President Donald Trump lost by 53 points.</p>

<h4>Vanessa Aronson is walking right into the Assembly</h4>

<p>Our seniors deserve the dignity of aging in place, with the support they need to remain in the communities they helped build.</p><p>I will work to expand access to affordable home care and strengthen services that allow seniors to stay connected to their families and neighborhoods.</p><p>I will also support job training, technology access, and age-inclusive employment policies that value older New Yorkers, while working to combat age discrimination and ensure retirees receive the full benefits they have earned.<br></p>

<p>Vanessa will work to expand access to affordable home care and strengthen services that allow seniors to stay connected to their families and neighborhoods.</p>

<h2>Vibrant Communities Where Seniors Can Age in Place</h2>

<p>Everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes, at their places of worship, on their streets, and in their communities. I will support smart, evidence-based strategies to reduce crime, combat antisemitism and other forms of hate, and strengthen trust between communities and those responsible for public safety.</p><p>I will work to improve street safety by strengthening regulations and enforcement around vehicles like mopeds and e-bikes, and by holding large delivery platforms accountable for unsafe practices that put both workers and pedestrians at risk.</p><p>Accessibility must also be central to how we design our communities. I will support investments in infrastructure that make our streets safer and more navigable for everyone, including seniors, people with disabilities, and families with strollers.</p>

<p>Vanessa will support smart, evidence-based strategies to reduce crime, combat antisemitism and other forms of hate, and strengthen trust between communities and those responsible for public safety.</p>

<h2>Safe and Accessible Communities</h2>

<p>Healthcare is too expensive, and too many New Yorkers are forced to choose between getting care and making ends meet.</p><p>I will work to expand access to affordable, high-quality healthcare across the state, reduce out-of-pocket costs, and close coverage gaps so that every New Yorker can get the care they need.</p><p>I will also fight to lower prescription drug costs by increasing transparency and accountability in pricing practices, ensuring that seniors, people with chronic conditions, and working families are not priced out of essential medications.</p><p>Strengthening our healthcare workforce and expanding emergency medical capacity will also be a priority, so that all New Yorkers can receive timely, reliable, and life-saving care when they need it most.</p>

<p>Vanessa will work to expand access to affordable, high-quality healthcare across the state, reduce out-of-pocket costs, and close coverage gaps so that every New Yorker can get the care they need.</p>

<h2>Affordable, High-Quality Healthcare</h2>

<p>New York must be a place where LGBTQ+ individuals are not just protected, but empowered to live and thrive. That means standing firm against discrimination, investing in safety and opportunity, and ensuring that the protections under the NYS constitution are enforced with integrity and accountability.&nbsp;</p><p>As your Assemblymember, I will fight to enforce the New York State Equal Rights Amendment, which makes it unconstitutional to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. I will champion LGBTQ+-inclusive curricula in public schools to foster safe, affirming environments for all students. I will also push the state to invest in supportive housing and shelter programs specifically designed to meet the needs of homeless LGBTQ+ individuals with safety and dignity.</p><p>With federal attacks on LGBTQ+ rights escalating, including the targeting of trans healthcare and anti-discrimination programs, we must protect and expand state funding streams for critical services. I will work to shield LGBTQ+ programs, shelters, healthcare services, and educational initiatives from budget cuts and ensure they remain fully funded and fully staffed.</p>

<p>As a former public school teacher and a public school parent, I understand both the challenges and the opportunities in our education system.</p><p>I will fight to fully fund public schools, protect critical resources, and ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education from early childhood onward. That includes expanding access to 3-K and pre-K, safeguarding funding for essential programs like school meals, and ensuring schools are equipped with the tools they need to keep students safe.</p><p>I will also support data-driven programs to address bullying and ensure that schools remain safe, inclusive spaces for every child. At a time when public education faces increasing pressure, I will be a strong advocate for students, families, and educators in Albany.</p>

<h2>Strong Public Education</h2>

<p>Clean streets and healthy neighborhoods are essential to both quality of life and public health.</p><p>At the state level, I will advocate for sustained investment in sanitation, waste reduction, and environmental programs. That includes supporting policies that expand recycling and composting, reduce waste, and ensure consistent and fair enforcement of sanitation standards.</p><p>I will also support efforts to hold businesses accountable for maintaining clean and safe conditions, while making sure they have the tools and information needed to comply. Protecting green spaces and improving environmental conditions will remain a key priority.</p>
