When a candidate takes money from interests like real estate, they no longer just answer to their voters. They have to take developers' interests into account, which hurts tenants. That’s not us.

Our campaign is proud to be funded by grassroots donors. That means real donations from real people. We do not take any donations from real estate, corporate interests, the Israel Lobby, or Super PACs.

My opponents have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars pushing one false claim: that I’m a MAGA Republican who worked for Pam Bondi. These attacks are meant to distract from the movement we’re building in Harlem. Instead of talking about rising rents and the displacement of longtime residents, they’re spending corporate PAC money from actual MAGA donors and the real estate and gambling industries to attack me.

So here is the truth: As a poor Black kid who grew up in Florida and made it to law school, I took an unpaid summer internship for the Attorney General’s Office. I never spoke to Pam Bondi. My work was focused entirely on appeals inspired me to become a public defender and defend our community.

Our opponents are terrified of the power that we are building in Harlem and they have a lot to lose if we win this race. That is why the Wrights formed multiple predatory super PACs, including Moving Harlem Forward to defeat us. Their PAC donors include ACTUAL MAGA republicans, Cuomo's supporters, donors associated with Solidarity PAC (the state equivalent of AIPAC), and real estate developers.

Our campaign responded with our own video to set the record straight.

Nothing beats a night out in Harlem! Catch Conrad watching an Arsenal game at The Fox, having a beer at Harlem Hops, drinking wine from a black-owned vineyard at Musette, playing darts at Mess Hall, or ending the night dancing at Harlem Nights!
