“Ryder Kessler understands that housing is a human right, and that government has a responsibility to protect tenants and keep communities whole. Throughout his career, Ryder has shown a deep commitment to affordability, equity, and standing with working families. CUFFH Action is proud to endorse Ryder Kessler for State Assembly because we know he will be a principled, effective partner in the fight for economic justice and real affordability for New Yorkers.”

“For years, Ryder has been a champion for a more affordable, just city. Long before it was politically convenient, he named the root causes of our housing crisis and began fighting for solutions. He didn’t wait for someone else to speak up. He led. Changing the status quo is never easy. It means taking on deeply entrenched interests and refusing to accept things as they are. It requires courage and a willingness to keep pushing when progress feels slow. That’s exactly the kind of leadership Ryder brings. If we want a city that finally delivers for working families, renters, transit riders, and the next generation, this is our moment. I’m proud to endorse Ryder for Assembly, and I hope you’ll join me in supporting his campaign.”

"No one in local politics has had a greater impact on me than Ryder. He understands that progressive values aren’t just talking points. They’re a call to action. Long before it was politically convenient, he championed a pro-housing, pro-safe-streets vision that not only inspired so many but helped reshape this city’s political landscape. That’s the kind of leadership this moment demands: not just the right values, but the courage and vision to bring people along and deliver a better future."

“Ryder is a Lower Manhattan leader fighting to protect opportunity and keep NYC accessible to all.”
