Candidate: New York City Mayor

Jessica Ramos (D)

Candidate Site

Senator Jessica Ramos is running for mayor to bring working families’ voices to City Hall. As chair of the Senate Labor Committee, she’s fought to raise and index the minimum wage, tackle child poverty, and secure $2.1B for excluded workers.

Born in Elmhurst to immigrant parents, Jessica was raised in Astoria, attended Queens public schools, and now lives in Jackson Heights with her sons. A lifelong advocate for workers, she’s been on picket lines, in government, and at the negotiating table.

Jessica Ramos knows our struggles and will fight for working New Yorkers as our next mayor.
