Issues

Our Campaign's Top Issues

The challenges in our corner of Queens are real — rising costs, long commutes, and real concerns about safety. Families are doing everything right and still feeling squeezed, while too often our communities are overlooked. Pesach Osina is focused on practical solutions that lower costs, improve safety, fix the commute, and deliver real results.

Affordability

Families are being squeezed from every direction — insurance, utility bills, and childcare costs keep rising. Pesach Osina will fight to push back on rate hikes, expand tax relief for the middle class, and make childcare more affordable so working families can actually get ahead.

Public Safety

Public safety matters. Pesach supports law enforcement, believes repeat offenders should be held accountable.

Protecting our Seniors and Retirees

Seniors who worked their whole lives deserve to retire with dignity. Pesach will protect pensions, lower healthcare and prescription costs, fix Tier 6, and expand property tax relief so seniors can afford to stay in their homes.

Transportation

Our district deals with some of the longest commutes in the city. Pesach will protect the Cross Bay Bridge rebate, expand Fare Fares, and push forward QueensLink to finally connect our communities and give people a real alternative to long, unreliable commutes.

Supporting our Veterans

Veterans in our district shouldn’t have to travel far or navigate complicated systems to get help. Pesach will bring services directly into the community, with local access to benefits, healthcare support, and assistance from trained professionals.

Resiliency & Emergency Preparedness

Pesach Osina believes resiliency means more than preparing for the next storm. It means making sure government responds quickly, protects our coastal communities, and stands with families until the job is done. He will fight for stronger flood protections, faster resiliency projects, better emergency planning, and our fair share of funding.

Responsible Housing

Every neighborhood in our district is different, and residents deserve a real say in what gets built. Pesach will fight to protect community input, oppose overdevelopment, and focus on policies like property tax relief and homeowner protections.

Fighting Hate

Hate crimes are rising, and too many incidents go unreported. Pesach will push for better coordination between agencies, stronger reporting systems, and real support for victims so every community feels safe and protected.

Animal Protection

Animal cruelty should be treated as a serious crime, not just property damage. Pesach will fight to strengthen laws and enforcement so animals are treated as living beings and those who harm them are held accountable.
