“The general election for an open Assembly seat in Queens is unlikely to surpass the primary in terms of interest: in June, Patrick Martinez beat Shamsul Haque by just seven votes.”

About Patrick Martinez
I’m a former teacher, a Community Board member, and a CUNY graduate running to represent Assembly District 30 - Woodside, Maspeth, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and a small bit of East Elmhurst.
Our district faces a rising number of threats to our working class communities, from housing costs to climate-related flooding to attacks from ICE. Too many of our neighbors are struggling to make ends meet while costs go up, and government fails to meet the needs of the moment. I’m looking to represent the neighborhoods I call home so that Albany can address the needs of working families, immigrant New Yorkers, and our most vulnerable so that Queens can continue to be a home for all.
Patrick Martinez on Housing and Abundance
“I will work to ensure Queens families are able to live in safe and secure housing, including basement units and deeply affordable housing to increase safety, and keep housing affordable.”
“Creating the Social Housing Development Authority is another key priority to increase permanently affordable housing across New York.”
