VOCAL Action Fund Endorsed These Candidates Based on Their Commitment to Real Solutions Grounded in Justice, Equity, and Compassion
NEW YORK — Following yesterday’s primaries, VOCAL Action Fund applauded the following endorsed candidates who won their races and will fight for our communities in their elected offices:
- Brad Lander — Congressional District 10
- Karines Reyes — Assembly District 87
- Demond Meeks — Assembly District 137
- Adam Bojak — Assembly District 149
- Jessica Gonzalez Rojas — Senate District 13
- Jon Rivera — Senate District 61
- Kisha Skipper — Westchester County Board of Legislators
- Leslye Thomas — Westchester County Board of Legislators
“Today’s primary results show us that from Brooklyn to Buffalo, New Yorkers are eager for new representation committed to transforming the political environment for the working class,” said Kim Smith, VOCAL Action Fund Political Director. “Our endorsed candidates have pledged to our statewide membership that they will stand in solidarity with us to champion equitable policies that will create a more just, caring, and compassionate New York. These candidates won their primaries, but the real winners are the New Yorkers who will have champions fighting for them.”
“Our Westchester endorsed candidates won because of their strong leadership and commitment to serving our communities,” said Gaye Corselli, Westchester-based VOCAL Action Fund Leader. “We believe in their dedication to strengthening our quality of life and advocating for those whose voices are often unheard. Westchester County continues to face challenges, including housing affordability, overdose prevention, support for people living with HIV, and accessible community services. Our communities deserve solutions grounded in compassion, accountability, and action – and these candidates will deliver.”
“Our endorsed candidates who won in Buffalo last night have faithfully served our community long before running for office,” said James Hill, a Buffalo-based VOCAL Action Fund Leader. “We delivered our vote because we know they will deliver us justice, compassion, and care for us.”
