Candidate Statement
My name is Isiah James, and I'm asking for your vote. I'm a decorated disabled Army veteran, housing advocate, son of a west-Indian immigrant, and loving husband.
Now, more than ever, we need solutions that work for all of us – not just the super-rich.
I’ll fight for Medicare for All so we never have to worry again about losing our health insurance if we lose our jobs. I’ll advocate for true affordable housing so you and I can afford our rent. I’ll stand with students to demand free college and trade school so that we can all earn enough to live in this great city. I’ll push for a Green New Deal so that we can save our planet.
We need to support one another, stand arm in arm, and fight for real progressive change. Join us on June 23rd!
