Teachers, Nurses & Leaders Rally Behind Stefani Zinerman

With early voting underway, Stefani Zinerman is closing out her re-election campaign with a show of force few Assembly candidates can match. The list reads like a who's-who of New York Democratic politics — House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Attorney General Letitia James at the top, followed by more than 30 sitting state legislators, a comptroller, and a roster of the state's largest labor unions. For Zinerman, the breadth of the coalition is less about star power than message: that her record on housing, deed theft prevention, and economic opportunity in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights has earned trust across the political spectrum, from Albany insiders to the shop floor. The campaign is now turning that support into turnout, urging supporters to vote early through June 21 or head to the polls on June 23rd.

32BJ Deal Averts NYC Strike, Boosts Worker Pay

The four-year deal, pending member ratification, reflects a major win for building service workers and maintains stability across the city’s residential housing sector.
