Claire Valdez stood with me on day one because she understands how change is won—by building power, raising expectations, and delivering for working people. She comes from the labor movement and knows how to turn struggle into real gains on housing, healthcare, and workers’ rights. That’s the kind of partner I need in Congress, and why I’m proud to endorse her.

Corporations and billionaires are doing everything they can to crush the working class. The only way we can take on the crises in front of us is if we have more workers representing us in the halls of power. That is why I am proud to stand with UAW member Claire Valdez in her run for Congress. Claire will fight like hell for dignity, fairness, and justice for all workers. This is exactly how the labor movement can fight back against corporate greed and inequality: by electing more of our own. UAW is excited to send Claire to Congress to deliver for the working class.

Claire will oppose funding for genocide and forever wars, and will fight ICE and the systems that cage migrants and terrorize working families. She stands with Palestine and with Puerto Rico for freedom and self-determination—because no working class is disposable, and justice cannot stop at the water's edge.

Claire Valdez is an Assemblymember, union organizer and proud democratic socialist running for Congress in NY-7 to fight for the working class.
