“As a skilled organizer, especially helping those with housing or immigration issues, Ms. Ramos easily outshines her opponent, Senator Jose Peralta. Mr. Peralta has been in the Legislature for nearly 16 yearsand was a member of Mr. Klein’s breakaway cabal. He has said he joinedthe Republican caucus to get more money for immigrants and schools in the district. Ms. Ramos will fight directly for Democratic causes like women’s rights and affordable housing in the city, not beg for leftovers from Republicans.”
“Jessica Ramos is a tireless advocate for her community and a progressive champion for working families — and I’m proud to endorse her for state Senate. Jessica will help give New York a true Democratic majority in the Senate and ensure vital progress in Albany — from real rent reform to public school funding to the DREAM Act. As a public school parent, a Queens native and a daily subway rider, Jessica knows firsthand the challenges her neighbors face and will stand up for working people in Albany. In City Hall, Jessica worked with me to expand access to resources for Latino communities, and I know in Albany she’ll be a strong partner that advocates for our city’s diverse communities.”
“We need more fierce advocates like Jessica Ramos leading in New York State. As a public school mom and the daughter of immigrants, she would lend a valuable voice and perspective to our State Senate. I am thrilled to endorse her campaign for SD13 today.”
