@bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at the Jewish & Muslim Solidarity Rally at Carroll Park in Brooklyn! Hey, NY-10, listen to Mr. Mayor and vote for Brad Lander in the Democratic primary! Huge turnout at the rally, tremendously good vibes. More pictures coming...

Biggest race on my ballot is NY-10. I voted for @bradlander.bsky.social over Dan Goldman. Yes, Goldman's done well with anti-ICE work. But he refused to endorse Mamdani, voted to censure Talib, and is AIPAC's candidate in this race. Lander represents solidarity, safety, joy, and the future.

Greg Pak@gregpak.net

A HUGE crowd, with a couple hundred lined up to get pictures with Lander afterwards. A whole lotta people love this guy. Multiple speakers talked about his years of solidarity and that Muslim and Jewish safety are the SAME THING.

@bradlander.bsky.social is our guy, y'all. Endorsed by @bkindivisible.bsky.social, @nywfp.bsky.social, & a million other progressive groups. He SHOWS UP, every time. I've seen him more than any other elected in person, without even trying. I've NEVER seen Goldman in person. bsky.app/profile/greg...

These dudes just genuinely seem to like each other. Loved that vibe during the mayoral primary; love it now. This is the vibe NYC needs, deserves, and wants. Vote for @bradlander.bsky.social in NY-10, friends.

If I were in NY-03, I'd crawl over glass to vote for @votewelch.bsky.social over Suozzi. Suozzi seems to be on every list of Ds voting for some horrible R initiative. Welch seems great! I gave her campaign money. I hope you get out and vote for her if you're in NY-03. bsky.app/profile/vote...

My opponent,Tom Suozzi (D?-NY) held Palantir stock when he voted for additional DHS funding (benefitting Palantir) right after Renee Good's murder. Voting is already in progress for the primary, and I am on the ballot. Please make a donation today to help fund GOTV efforts: votewelch.com

In NY-13, I'd vote for @darializaforny.bsky.social over Espaillat. I mean, come on. This is an obvious one. bsky.app/profile/dari...

Darializa for Congress@darializaforny.bsky.social

The lives of the people in NY-13 have not improved in the last 9 years, or in the last 30 years my opponent has held political office. But in that time he has voted for over $7b in ICE spending, taken over $115,000 from ICE contractors, and more than $250,000 from corporate real estate developers.

In NY-15, I'd absolutely vote for Michael Blake over Torres. I met Michael Blake and ranked him during the mayoral primary. He seemed great and I'm thrilled he's primarying Ritchie Torres, who's the AIPAC candidate in this race, to understate the situation. bsky.app/profile/greg...

Greg Pak@gregpak.net

Michael Blake. Former NY Assembly member. He very memorably tore into Cuomo at the second debate and ranked pretty high for me when I did @thecity.nyc's candidate quiz. I ranked him #4.

For NY State Comptroller, I voted for @drewforny.bsky.social. DiNapoli supports investing in Israel bonds. Goyle says good things, but @cityandstateny.bsky.social notes he had a conservative voting record in Kansas. No thanks! Warshaw for me! www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

cityandstateny.comWill the real progressive please stand up in the race for state comptroller?The candidates running against incumbent Tom DiNapoli in his first-ever primary are each jockeying to position themselves as the true progressive choice in the contest.

Over the past couple of years, I've met - and photographed! - a bunch of folks in NYC who consistently show up at events, protests, and rallies to fight for things I care about - and some of them are running for office! So here are some more folks I'd vote for in important downballot races:

In NY Assembly District 56, I'd vote for @eontyrellhuntley.bsky.social. Here he is last year getting arrested for civil disobedience at the Families Stand Up for Gaza protest at Grand Army Plaza. bsky.app/profile/greg...

Greg Pak@gregpak.net

The police arrested maybe a dozen people. Many of the protestors continued chanting as they were led to the police van.

For NY State Assembly District 66, I'd vote for @siffertforny.bsky.social. Among other things, I've seen them standing up for "A.i." regulation with the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social. That's a huge litmus test for me. Also would be the Assembly's first non-binary rep, ever! bsky.app/profile/greg...

Greg Pak@gregpak.net

I've seen Siffert at an anti-ICE rally and an @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social anti-"A.i." rally. Strikes me as a sharp, serious, competent person who knows what's what. I'd vote for them if I lived in the district!
