2017

Halasa provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:

I am running because ordinary citizens should run for office. As a resident of Clinton/Chelsea, the fight against our community's gentrification that displaces local residents and businesses, and destroys the character of our neighborhood must be won. I advocate for more affordable housing and less tax breaks to profit-focused developers. I also support a Universal Basic Income of $2,500 a month to help eradicate poverty and homelessness, as well as to rejuvenate the fading middle-class. Additionally, we need a system of election integrity and protect the right to vote. The 126,000 New Yorkers that were knocked off the voter rolls in the last primary election shows we need a genuinely transparent process that safeguards citizens' voices and makes a true democracy possible.[2][3]

—Marni Halasa (2017)
