Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer

“The truth is representation matters, and I've always been driven by the need for progressive queer folks to run office - and win. In the 26th District, we have an opportunity to make history again, electing a progressive and experience fighter who would also be the first queer South Asian ever elected in Queens (and in the nation).

Amit stands out as a candidate with 14 years of experience in public service, and his track record—from the incredibly successful census campaign to implementing Paid Sick Leave and freelancer protections, to IDNYC, and more—demonstrates that he's going to be ready to take on the big fights on behalf of our neighbors on Day 1.”

“Amit's got the clarity of vision, commitment of purpose, and experience in delivering real results for working New Yorkers that we will need to rebuild a just and inclusive economy, achieve climate justice for frontline communities, dismantle and reimagine policing, and create a truly equitable public school system. I couldn't be more excited to endorse him. I've seen first-hand the powerful energy he can bring to a room, and I can't wait to see him bring the same energy to the Council.”

“New York needs a major overhaul in its government, and we're facing a multi-billion-dollar deficit. To build a city where we are achieving racial and immigrant justice through economic justice for all those New Yorkers who've been forced out of our economy, we are going to need leaders with both bold, progressive vision and real experience in delivering results. Amit gets things done: he has an extensive record of making our city work, and I know when he's in office he will put low-income workers and marginalized communities first. He's like a (progressive) Swiss Army knife of candidates: ready for anything, and has a huge set of skills we need in the Council - and I'm proud to support him!”

State Senator Jessica Ramos

“As we fight for a just and more inclusive recovery for all, I'm proud to support Amit's people-powered mission. Amit will help build a Queens where all residents have access to the resources and economic opportunity they need to thrive. Amit is a battle-tested progressive leader who will leverage power in the City Council to center the needs of working families in our city - fighting to expand healthcare access, stabilize housing, create green jobs, and provide safe and enriching public schools.”

State Senator Julia Salazar

“Returning to normal isn’t enough. We can’t rely on status quo politics to solve the important issues facing New Yorkers. We need a leader who doesn’t only have the right ideas, but also has the experience to implement them. From expanding Paid Sick Leave to 3 million New Yorkers, to fighting predatory corporations who preyed on workers and consumers, to helping lead the city’s unprecedented census campaign that saved our state an entire congressional seat; Amit has a demonstrated track record of being the progressive figure who gets things done. And that’s why I’m proud to support Amit Singh Bagga to become the next City Council member here in District 26.”
