VANESSA ARONSON
Democrat for State Assembly District 73

East Siders are facing uncertainty in our city, our state and our nation. Our democratic institutions are under attack, our values are being tested, our costs are skyrocketing and our families still don’t feel safe. We deserve leaders in Albany who understand the East Side and have the experience, compassion and strength to fearlessly champion our values and community. We deserve representation that is ready to lead us forward.

Vanessa Aronson is a tireless, tested and trusted champion for the East Side. She served as president of the Lexington Democratic Club, bringing more East Siders into the democratic process and building up the next generation of community leaders. She is a Judicial Delegate and a member of the County Democratic Committee, serving on the Ethics Committee and defending our values. Vanessa held leadership roles on our Community Board and at Park Avenue Synagogue, where she supported our most vulnerable neighbors. She taught in NYC public schools and, as an advisor to the president of Hunter College, strengthened our education system. As a Foreign Service Officer, she tackled food insecurity around the world. Throughout her career, Vanessa has fearlessly lived her values and promoted democracy, safety and security.

As our next Assembly Member, Vanessa Aronson will be a fearless champion for the East Side. She will continue to work tirelessly to make our community safe, address the mental health crisis, improve public education, make housing more affordable and accessible, and always defend New Yorkers from Trump’s reckless agenda. That’s why East Siders trust Vanessa Aronson to stand up for our community.

We’re grateful for your support!
