Jessica González-Rojas launched her state Senate campaign in Jackson Heights, aiming to unseat incumbent Jessica Ramos in the upcoming Democratic primary. Currently, she represents Assembly District 34, which overlaps with Ramos's district. At her campaign kickoff event, González-Rojas emphasized her dedication to leadership that prioritizes listening to constituents. She has earned significant endorsements from various political figures, including U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and multiple city officials, indicating strong support for her candidacy as she prepares for the primary election in 2024.
"Too often, politics gets stuck in ego and gridlock," González-Rojas said in the video. "I spent my life organizing, advocating and working in diverse coalitions to get things done. I am unwavering in my values and my commitment to our community."
González-Rojas has already secured a number of progressive endorsements ahead of next year's primary, with New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and Assembly Members Catalina Cruz, Steve Raga, Claire Valdez and Phara Souffrant Forrest all backing González-Rojas for Ramos's Senate seat.
