| Collapse all
- This campaign is focused on restoring trust in government by centering the needs of working families, renters, immigrants, students, and small business owners. Padellaro believes elected officials should be present, accountable, and responsive to the communities they serve - not insulated by entrenched political systems or special interests.
- Padellaro’s background is rooted in hands-on community work, not career politics. From addressing food insecurity to supporting local economic initiatives, he brings a practical, results-driven approach to public service. His campaign emphasizes policy solutions that improve affordability, access to healthcare and education, and economic stability for everyday New Yorkers.
- This campaign is built around grassroots organizing, volunteer engagement, and public accountability. Padellaro is committed to open communication with constituents, ethical governance, and ensuring that the voices of NY-5 residents - not lobbyists or donors - guide legislative priorities.
