I'm a lifelong public servant, a former government official for the State of New York, and a mother to a young daughter. I'm running for office because, at a national level, we're facing an imminent threat to our democracy. We have a criminal Commander-in-Chief that no one on either side of the aisle seems to be able to hold accountable. At a local level, in New York City, we're living in the most unequal district in the nation in terms of wealth distribution, which is unacceptable for a city thought of as the beacon of progressive values.
My career has been a training ground in making ideas like the Green New Deal, Federal Paid Family Leave, Housing as a Human Right, and Free Community College a reality. I've created hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs for working families across New York; worked to get Chambers of Commerce across the state on-board in the fight for a $15 minimum wage and paid family leave; oversaw New York's disaster relief efforts when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico; and negotiated hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for NYCHA in the state budget when Congress failed to act.
We need leaders with the moral courage to put country over politics and get to work. I've seen the insider's game first-hand and am angry and frustrated when machine politics gets in the way of solving the crises we're facing. I'm running for Congress because I want change for Americans, and I have the experience, the guts, and the fortitude to do something about it.
- Climate Change: We can and must pass a Green New Deal. Many areas across this nation are one extreme weather event from total devastation. We must stop the intentional harm we are doing to the planet, and ourselves, by leading the way in 100% renewable energy and putting resources in place to protect areas besieged by climate disasters. It is time to re-think what it means to build equitable cities as we face the irreversible damage that has been done to our planet.
- Mental Health: I grew up in a family that struggled with Mental Health. It wasn't until I started talking about it more publicly that I realized how many families, like mine, are impacted by suicide, addiction, depression, and other mental health issues that end in tragedy. Our country is in crisis; we must treat mental health on par with physical health in the fight for Medicare for All.
- Protecting our Democracy: It is imperative that Congress move forward with impeachment. Our President makes efforts to thwart democracy in plain sight. Neither Republicans nor Democrats should look the other way for fear of being voted out of office. It is time to put country over politics and do what's right to uphold our progressive values.
Mobility: NY-10 is one of the most unequal districts in the nation in terms of wealth distribution. In our country, every generation should have the opportunity to thrive - to be as successful, if not more, than the generation before. This extends across having a safe place to live, access to a quality education, a living wage, and affordable healthcare. We need to restore the American Dream and ensure everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

Noteworthy events
Sexual harassment accusation against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (2021)
On February 24, 2021, Boylan published an article on the blogging site Medium that accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of sexual harassment and detailed her account of inappropriate interactions with the governor between 2016 and 2018. Boylan, who was then an aide in the Cuomo administration, wrote that the governor called her the name of his supposed former girlfriend, would often touch her lower back, arms, and legs, and once kissed her on the lips without her consent, among other things. Boylan first alleged that Gov. Cuomo acted inappropriately on Twitter in December 2020.[3]
In response to Boylan first making her allegations in December 2020, Cuomo said the following: "Look, I fought for and I believe a woman has the right to come forward and express her opinion and express issues and concerns that she has, but it’s just not true.”[4]
