Issues

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 matters. Pesach supports law enforcement, believes repeat offenders should be held accountable, and will push for real mental health solutions that make communities safer for everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
