González-Rojas's detailed climate platform, stronger campaign position, and engagement on our issues make her our recommendation over a creditable incumbent

Jessica González-Rojas was first elected to the Assembly in 2020, defeating an incumbent in the primary. In this race she boasts an impressive endorsement coalition: the WFP, Brad Lander, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her Seven-Point Climate Resilience Plan is the most detailed climate platform of any candidate we have researched this cycle, covering flood infrastructure, heat resilience, transit investment, green jobs, and interagency coordination. She responded to our questionnaire and agreed with our positions.

She is supportive of Citizens Union's entire reform agenda. Citizens Union was impressed by her strong engagement with CU's policy questions, providing specific, New York-focused responses on campaign finance transparency and other reform issues, demonstrating a genuine commitment to continued reform. Citizens Union prefers Jessica González-Rojas in this race.
