doesn’t get sold out, but
where our community is
invested in.

We’re 100% funded by voters like you. We will not take corporate money. WHAT CONRAD IS ABOUT
I'm a Harlemite and proud Democratic Socialist running for NYS Assembly in Assembly District 70.
Harlem has been the driver of the culture- whether in politics, music, art, fashion or thought. But political elites and corporate interests have purposely stifled that progress and drained Harlem of its resources. I'm running to put Harlem back in the hands of the people.
As a Union Organizer, I have learned how to build collective power to use the bully pulpit against the powers that try to divide us. I've learned that when we fight together, we win. Together we can. Together we must!

HOLD OUR
GROUND
Housing is where stability begins. Too many Harlem families are pushed out by rising rents and speculative development. Landlords and developers increasingly treat our homes as a financial asset rather than the place where we live. This displacement is the result of political choices. Different choices can be made. Protecting residents does not require freezing neighborhoods or limiting housing supply. It requires removing housing from speculation altogether. New housing has been built in our community for years while displacement has accelerated. The problem is not growth but who controls that growth and who benefits from it. It’s time to take that control back for us: the People of Harlem.

BUILD OUR
WEALTH
Keeping our community in Harlem only works if we can afford to live here. The 36% income gap in Harlem is a political choice. What is more, this year, fortune 500 companies took home record profits, while workers took home record low wages. We power this city with our labor, yet we earn significantly less than the rest of New York. While our work builds the city’s wealth, we are denied the prosperity we create. Our campaign knows Harlem is a collective economic engine and insists we who power Harlem share in what we produce. Wages do not rise because politicians announce a number. They rise because standards, procurement rules, and bargaining power change. We are committed to working to bring these changes, together.

PROTECT OUR
PEOPLE
Public safety determines whether stability lasts. We know what it feels like when government safety systems show up too late or make a crisis worse. Real safety is an institutional responsibility that requires the right response at the right time. While some situations will always require enforcement, the current system’s failure is enforcement as the first response rather than the last.
We want fewer emergencies that spiral and faster responses when help is needed. We are building a neighborhood where safety feels real and consistent because it is on our terms.
