Claire Valdez, a union organizer and New York State Assemblymember, has spent her career fighting alongside workers, tenants, immigrant communities, and unions.

“Claire understands that economic justice and democracy go hand in hand,” Jose Vasquez, Army Veteran, Executive Director of Common Defense, and New Yorker said. “She knows how to build power from the ground up, and has never lost sight of who the government should serve.”
