State Senator Jessica Ramos has announced that she will be running for Mayor of New York City in the upcoming election, challenging current frontrunner Eric Adams. Ramos, who represents the 13th district in Queens, has been a vocal advocate for progressive policies and has a track record of fighting for the rights of working-class New Yorkers.
Ramos, a first-generation Latina, has been a strong voice in the New York State Senate, pushing for policies that benefit working families, immigrants, and marginalized communities. She has been a champion for issues such as affordable housing, healthcare, and workers’ rights, and has consistently fought against corporate interests and inequality.
In announcing her candidacy, Ramos stated that she is running to bring real change to New York City and to fight for the people who have been left behind by the current administration. She criticized Adams for his ties to real estate developers and his support for policies that she believes do not benefit the city’s most vulnerable residents.
Ramos faces a tough challenge in her bid for mayor, as Adams has already garnered significant support from key stakeholders and has a strong base of support in the city. However, Ramos is confident that her message of progressive change and her track record of fighting for working-class New Yorkers will resonate with voters.
If elected, Ramos has pledged to prioritize affordable housing, healthcare, and workers’ rights, and to take on the powerful interests that have long dominated city politics. She has also promised to bring a fresh perspective to city government and to work towards a more equitable and just New York City.
As the race for mayor heats up, it will be interesting to see how Ramos’s candidacy shapes the conversation and the direction of the election. With her strong progressive credentials and her commitment to fighting for the people of New York City, Ramos is sure to be a formidable contender in the race against Eric Adams.
