More about Claire and NY-7:

Assemblymember Claire Valdez is a union organizer, artist and proud democratic socialist. A dual citizen of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Nation and the United States, she worked low-wage customer service jobs through high school, college and after. As a worker at Columbia University, she joined UAW Local 2110, was elected to the bargaining committee, and organized to democratize her union. A longtime leader in NYC-DSA, Claire serves in the New York State Assembly, where she has fought to tax the rich, protect tenants, and empower working people.

New York’s 7th Congressional District spans North Brooklyn and Western Queens, neighborhoods shaped by both struggle and creativity. From the industrial polluters of the 19th and 20th centuries to the real estate speculators of today, powerful interests have long sought to extract wealth here at the expense of working people. But this district is also a place of deep resilience and extraordinary diversity, where immigrants, artists, workers, and families have built lasting communities and helped define the cultural life of New York City.
