Rajkumar (D) gains strong endorsements from Queens officials in Public Advocate race
Several elected officials in Queens have come together to support Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar in her bid to become NYC Public Advocate.
Council Member Robert Holden, State Senator Joseph Addabbo, and Assembly Members David Weprin, Nily Rozic, and Sam Berger have all endorsed Rajkumar for Public Advocate, lauding her record of service and dedication to improving the quality of life for New Yorkers across all five boroughs.
Their endorsements reflect Rajkumar’s growing momentum, positioning her as a strong contender to take on the current Public Advocate, Jumaane Williams. Williams’s tenure has been marked by criticism for what these elected officials believe is a divisive rhetoric and focus on publicity stunts rather than effective governance.
Holden, who represents the District 30 neighborhoods of Ridgewood, Maspeth, Middle Village, Glendale, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, emphasized Rajkumar’s focus on real issues and her commitment to practical solutions.
“Jumaane Williams is no advocate—he spends his time tweeting, grandstanding, and attending protests while his office remains closed and inaccessible to the public. New Yorkers have been left without a true advocate,” he stated.
