Call to Action

<h1>About</h1>

<p>Adriano Espaillat has spent his life fighting for this community and he has the power and the record to keep delivering for it. He is a proven progressive fighter who knows what our families are up against because he has lived it himself. While others in this race offer a wishlist, Adriano has the receipts: real protection for our neighbors, real money delivered home, and real wins for working people. Adriano Espaillat:</p><ul><li><p>Made history as the first formerly undocumented immigrant - and the first Dominican American - ever elected to Congress</p></li><li><p>Holds a seat on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, where the district’s funding gets decided</p></li><li><p>Has spent his career taking on Trump, ICE, and special interests and winning for working families</p></li></ul><p>This moment does not call for more strongly worded letters. It calls for someone with the power to protect our neighbors and the record to prove he will deliver. Adriano has the receipts:</p><ul><li><p>Took the Trump administration to court to protect Congress’s authority to inspect ICE detention facilities - and won</p></li><li><p>Led the successful fight to fire Kristi Noem and to stop airlines from handing passengers’ data to ICE</p></li><li><p>Secured $3.4 billion for Second Avenue Subway Phase 2, finally connecting East Harlem to the rest of the city</p></li><li><p>Delivered millions for affordable housing and protected tenants from eviction across Upper Manhattan</p></li><li><p>Authored legislation to put body cameras on ICE agents and keep ICE out of our hospitals, schools, playgrounds, and places of worship</p></li><li><p>Used his Appropriations seat to secure billions for the district: from the Second Avenue Subway to Morningside Park to the Kingsbridge Armory rebuild that will bring thousands of good-paying jobs to put the district on a path to long-term economic growth and development</p></li></ul><p>There is a reason Attorney General Letitia James, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and New York’s largest labor unions - 1199SEIU, 32BJ, DC 37, the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, and the Transport Workers Union - have all endorsed Adriano. It is because he has a real record of taking on these fights and winning for working people. <strong>Voters should read and see visually the breadth of his full labor and progressive leadership coalition.</strong></p><p>Ranked among the most progressive members of Congress, Adriano will keep fighting to abolish and defund ICE, stand firm against Trump and MAGA, pass Medicare for All, ban members of Congress from trading stocks, expand the Child Tax Credit, and bring our tax dollars home from Trump’s wars to make life more affordable for working families. <strong>Voters should learn more about his clear record and leadership on these issues.</strong></p><p>There is only one candidate in this race with more than a wishlist. Adriano Espaillat has the power, the vision, and the record to prove he can fight for this community and win.</p><p>Democratic primary voters who have voted in two or more recent primaries, with particular emphasis on voters age 35 and older; and all Democratic primary voters of color — Black and Latino — who have voted in one or more recent primaries particularly need to hear these messages.</p><p><strong>Updated 6/10:</strong> Voters in NY-13 need to hear about Darializa's&nbsp;very extreme positions reflected in her comments on social media not too long ago.&nbsp;She keeps talking about how she doesn’t want to re-litigate the past and that’s because she has no solutions for the future.</p>

<p>Rep.

<p><strong><em>Environmental advocates endorse Espaillat as he fights Trump’s environmental rollbacks and pushes bold progressive climate action</em></strong><em><br><br></em><strong><em>Congressman Espaillat: “While Donald Trump and his allies try to gut environmental protections and empower polluters, we’re fighting for bold progressive climate action.”</em></strong><em><br><br></em><strong><em>NEW YORK, NY</em></strong><em>&nbsp;— Today, on Earth Day, the League of Conservation Voters and SEEC PAC, the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition Political Action Committee, endorsed Congressman Adriano Espaillat for re-election, backing his record of fighting for bold progressive climate action, environmental justice, and modern, sustainable infrastructure that cuts pollution, reduces congestion, and builds a cleaner future.<br><br>As Donald Trump and his allies decimate environmental protections and carve out regulatory favors for polluters, environmental leaders are rallying behind Espaillat’s re-election campaign.<br><br>In a statement,&nbsp;</em><strong><em>Craig Auster, Vice President of Political Affairs, League of Conservation Voters Action Fund</em></strong><em>&nbsp;said: “Congressman Espaillat has led the fight for environmental justice and for the policies and investments needed to build a cleaner, healthier future. He understands that climate action is inseparable from public health, cleaner air, and protecting the communities that too often bear the greatest burden of pollution. We urge voters in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx to send Adriano back to Congress.”<br><br>In a statement,&nbsp;</em><strong><em>SEEC PAC Chair Rep. Nikki Budzinski</em></strong><em>&nbsp;said: “Congressman Espaillat has been a steadfast voice for climate action, environmental justice, and the federal investments needed to confront the climate crisis. He has fought for policies that reduce pollution, strengthen infrastructure, and move our communities toward a clean energy future. SEEC PAC is proud to endorse Adriano for re-election because we need him in the fight.”<br><br></em><strong><em>Congressman Adriano Espaillat</em></strong><em>&nbsp;said: “I’m honored to have the support of the League of Conservation Voters and SEEC PAC on Earth Day. While Donald Trump and his allies try to gut environmental protections and empower polluters, we’re fighting for bold progressive climate action. I’ll keep pushing for cleaner air, modern transportation, clean energy expansion, and good-paying union jobs, so we build a more just and sustainable future for every New Yorker.”<br><br>Espaillat’s record on climate and environmental justice, and his fearlessness in taking on the Trump Administration’s policies of climate denial is why leading environmental advocates are throwing their full support behind his re-election campaign on Earth Day. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have advanced an anti-climate agenda attacking environmental protections, and siding with polluters over public health and sustainable communities.Espaillat has fought back with bold progressive climate initiatives and proposals that center working people and tackle climate change head on.<br><br>In Congress, he’s worked to expand clean and affordable energy, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and protect clean air and water. He introduced a comprehensive package of climate legislation focused on climate finance, disaster housing, e-waste, and recycling infrastructure to help build healthier, more sustainable communities and strengthen America’s leadership in the fight against the climate crisis.<br><br>Espaillat also helped secure critical investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to rapidly expand New York City’s electric school bus fleet from roughly 45 buses to more than 180. Those investments are helping to cut emissions and deliver cleaner air for New York families.<br><br>As one of the most vocal champions of constructing Second Avenue Subway Phase 2, Espaillat helped deliver the federal funding needed to move the project forward. And he held the Trump Administration accountable to providing the funding that was promised, defeating their efforts to obstruct the transit modernization New Yorkers in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx were told for too long to wait for.<br><br>With the Second Avenue Subway project moving forward, transit service for NY-13 residents will be made faster, more reliable, and better able to connect all New Yorkers to jobs, schools, and opportunity, while reducing congestion and improving air quality. In total, the infrastructure investments Espaillat has brought back to the district will create family-sustaining, union jobs to move New York into the clean energy future, and ensure the communities he represents aren’t left behind.<br><br>The endorsements from the League of Conservation Voters and SEEC PAC adds to the growing coalition of progressive leaders, advocates, and labor unions supporting Espaillat’s re-election campaign, which includes:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Congressional Black Caucus PAC</em></p></li><li><p><em>Attorney General Letitia James</em></p></li><li><p><em>Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez</em></p></li><li><p><em>Congresswoman Analilia Mejia</em></p></li><li><p><em>Council Speaker Julie Menin</em></p></li><li><p><em>State Senator Cordell Cleare</em></p></li><li><p><em>Council Members Carmen De La Rosa, Elsie Encarnacion, Shaun Abreu, Christopher Marte</em></p></li><li><p><em>New York City Comptroller Mark Levine</em></p></li><li><p><em>Assemblymembers Al Taylor, Manny de los Santos, George Alvarez</em></p></li><li><p><em>Planned Parenthood Action Fund</em></p></li><li><p><em>Reproductive Freedom For All</em></p></li><li><p><em>New York Progressive Action Network (NYPAN)</em></p></li><li><p><em>1199SEIU</em></p></li><li><p><em>HTC</em></p></li><li><p><em>Council of School Supervisors and Administrators (CSA)</em></p></li><li><p><em>32BJ SEIU</em></p></li><li><p><em>TWU Local 100</em></p></li><li><p><em>UNITE HERE Local 100</em></p></li><li><p><em>Latino Victory Fund</em></p></li><li><p><em>Ben Franklin Reform Democratic Club</em></p></li><li><p><em>Lincoln Center Democratic Club</em></p></li></ul><p><strong><em>About Congressman Adriano Espaillat</em></strong><em><br><br>As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Congressman Espaillat has helped secure critical federal investments in affordable housing, transportation and transit accessibility, workforce development, healthcare, and community infrastructure.
