Out queer Queens City Council candidate Amit Singh Bagga, an immigrant advocate and former Census outreach administrator, is running to represent the 26th Council District in Woodside, Sunnyside, Long Island City, and Astoria — and he could make history as the first LGBTQ South Asian person elected to the New York City Council.

With more than a decade of political experience, Bagga is putting a focus on communities of color and marginalized New Yorkers who are often left in the dark.

“To truly achieve the racial and immigrant and gender justice that we are all fighting for collectively, we need to achieve economic justice,” Bagga said. “For that to happen, we need to have a city that is truly shaping its economy to work for all New Yorkers.”
