Yuh-Line’s Top Legislative Priorities
Yuh-Line believes New York can do better, and she has spent her career proving it. As a member of the State Assembly, she passed the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, fought alongside labor unions and immigrant communities, and did it all without taking a dollar from corporations. Now she is taking that fight to the State Senate!
Addressing the
Affordability Crisis
The cost of starting a family in New York has skyrocketed to unimaginable levels; in the period from 2019 to 2024, family-based childcare costs increased a staggering 79%. As a result, families with small children are more than twice as likely to move out of New York City compared to those without.
Yuh-Line will advance legislation to expand universal child care by taxing the ultra wealthy.
Fighting Donald Trump
and I.C.E.
As an immigrant herself, Yuh-Line Niou understands firsthand that immigrants are an inseparable part of both the community and economy of New York City. However, recent federal actions, including an unprecedented increase in ICE raids, have created a culture of fear in immigrant communities.
Yuh-Line will champion the passage of New York For All to protect our fellow New Yorkers from I.C.E.
Preventing Displacement in Lower Manhattan
Yuh-Line believes housing is a human right. Yuh-Line took on big real estate in the State Assembly and won. In the State Senate she'll continue to fight for the renters of Lower Manhattan.
Lower Manhattan deserves leadership that fights for tenants not corporate landlords.
Supporting the Labor Movement
As an elected official, Yuh-Line has fought unapologetically for pro-union policies and has always put workers’ interests above corporate interests. In the State Assembly, she supported investments in public goods and advocated against austerity budgets.
Yuh-Line will fight for our workers and will push for a state-wide $30 minimum wage by 2030.
