Hi Queens 👋🏽 My name is Claire Valdez. I'm an artist, organizer with
@Local2110UAW
, and longtime
@nycdsa
leader.
I’m running to represent Assembly District 37 because we all deserve a dignified life and beautiful future. I refuse to settle for less. 🧵

I'm disgusted by Pres. Shafik's decision to call in the NYPD to repress non-violent protesters. As a member of CU staff, I stand in complete solidarity with our students putting their bodies on the line to stop the atrocities in Gaza.
🚨HAPPENING NOW AT COLUMBIA: NYPD is arresting Columbia University students for protesting after students have built tents for the Gaza Solidarity Encampment on Butler lawns.
WE'RE CALLING ON ALL IN NYC TO HEAD TO COLUMBIA TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT

NYC is home to more billionaires than any other city on earth. It's clear our choice isn't between robust social services and aiding new arrivals. It's between unchecked wealth for the rich or a good life for all of us.
Migrants are not a problem in NYC. Migrants are NYC.
Saying that migrants from all over the world arriving here “will destroy New York City” is repugnant MAGA garbage.
10K a month? In 1907, that many came in a *day* — and it MADE this city.
Let’s drop this demagoguery and invest in welcoming asylum seekers and getting them work.

Deploying the national guard to our subways doesn't keep us safe. We can't police public safety into existence—we must build it. That means investing in outreach programs, funding housing & improving infrastructure. Militarizing our subway makes for big headlines, not a solution.
We're disturbed to see
@GovKathyHochul
deploy the National Guard to check bags in subway entrances as a core part of her safety response -- a measure that evokes stop-and-frisk and will undoubtedly target Black and brown riders in greater proportion.

This is shameful. A Ridgewood institution is shutting down after 70 YEARS because the landlord quadrupled rent.
Working people—not landlords, not developers—make Queens. We can't keep allowing profiteers to squeeze our neighbors out of our communities to line their own pockets.
Ridgewood's iconic pork store forced to close its doors after nearly 70 years. The reason: the third co-owner/senior partner, who happens to also be their landlord, is quadrupling the rent

These concessions would completely gut the core of this legislation and betray tenants who have been demanding relief for years.
This is a gift to real estate. This is not Good Cause.
On good cause eviction, one source tells me concessions include:
- exemption for rents 200% of fair market rent
- 30 yr exemption for new construction
- owner-occupied buildings of 8 units or less, and those landlords with a 10 unit portfolio exempt
- opt-in for municipalities

The political machine protects its own power at the expense of our communities, and they diminish capable, principled leaders in the process.
We deserve fighters like Tiffany & Chi in positions of power, and we won’t stop challenging the system that tries to sideline them.
NEW: Two progressive Council members - Tiffany Cabán and Chi Ossé - won’t be chairing the committees they led last session.
That's seen as retaliation by Speaker Adrienne Adams for voting against the budget.
And Shahana Hanif and Sandy Nurse are on watch.

👷🏽♀️ Workers deserve it all: Everything in this city is made possible by workers. While the 1% hoards wealth & tries to divide us, recent union victories show one path forward: solidarity.
That begins with protecting the right to strike & holding bosses accountable for wage theft.

🌳 A Green NY: From flooding, to toxic air, to outrageous Con Ed rate hikes, Queens faces climate chaos not in the distant future, but now.
We must transition to a just, renewable future — and we can do so by building public renewables & creating good, union jobs in the process.

Everyone, not just the rich, deserves that same security and dignity — in the workplace, and in the rest of their lives.
We deserve an assemblymember who stands arm in arm with our community, not one who is too distracted by his personal scandals to get to work.

Everyone deserves free, high-quality healthcare, period. We need to build a system that works for families & healthcare workers, not one that lines the pockets of insurance executives. The NY Health Act would save our state billions + reduce costs for 90% of NYers. Let’s pass it!
Getting amped to pass the New York Health Act, which would provide guaranteed, comprehensive, and high quality healthcare to all New Yorkers.

Sources are saying, when we fight, we WIN.
CONGRATULATIONS and solidarity forever to the thousands of courageous workers at over 300 stores ‼️ who faced down Starbucks’ relentless union busting and forced them to come to the table. Incredible. Inspiring. Historic.🫡 ✊🏽❤️🔥
A giant step forward made possible by thousands and thousands of us joining together and speaking out…

Between our

and
@UAWRegion9A
endorsements, we’re building incredible momentum and growing a coalition to take on the Democratic Party establishment and raise expectations in Queens.
But to take out the capitalist trash, we need socialist cash.

We’ve been here before. People organize for peace and better working conditions, and they’re met by repression & violence. This May Day, it's important to remember, whether it’s machinists in 1886 Chicago or students in 2024, the outcome is clear: justice comes out of struggle.🧵
The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.

Working people make Queens the vibrant, dynamic and magical place that it is — but every day, we are being displaced and priced out of our community.
Our vision for Queens is one where we prioritize the things that matter to the working class.
Here’s my plan:
