Candidate: New York State Assembly / District 038

David Orkin (D)

Candidate Site

As an immigrant workers’ rights attorney, union organizer, and democratic socialist, David has fought for and won real gains for working people and immigrant neighbors, from securing a strong union contract for his coworkers to taking on bad bosses for his clients. Now, he’s running to bring that same fight to Albany. Our district is facing serious challenges, including rising housing costs, unaffordable health care and childcare, and the terrifying threat of ICE raids. In the richest city in the richest country in the world, New Yorkers deserve an affordable, dignified future that works for working people, not just the wealthy.

David Orkin was congratulated by Congresswoman-elect Claire Valdez for cruising past Republican Ruben Cruz II in the 38th Assembly District race on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
