City Councilmember and Former Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer “I’ve known Micah Lasher for years and seen the passion he brings to so many of today’s big issues. I’ve also seen the incredible focus he brings to issues that may only matter to a neighborhood, a block, or a single building—things like scaffolding, illegal cannabis stores, and dangerous e-bikes. His experience in government is unique and will make him an incredibly effective successor to Jerry Nadler and a powerful new voice in Congress. I’m excited to endorse him.”
Former Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger “Micah Lasher will continue in this district’s long tradition of fearless, principled leadership. He’s a strong progressive who never hesitates to take on powerful interests—from Big Oil to Elon Musk. Micah will bring energy and focus to the fight against Trump and the Republicans and do something that’s too rare these days in Washington—stand up for the most vulnerable among us. I’m proud to endorse Micah Lasher for Congress.”
Former NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer “Micah Lasher wrote the playbook for what blue states should be doing to fight back against Trump—and he’s led the resistance here in New York. His deep knowledge of policy and government will make him a nightmare for the craven Republicans in Congress. And at a time when the Democratic Party desperately needs new ideas and energy, Micah Lasher will bring a lot of both to Washington. I’m excited to endorse him for Congress.”
City Councilmember Shaun Abreu “Micah Lasher has the relentless drive and proven track record New Yorkers demand. From bringing down long-standing scaffolding to taking on the national battles, Micah has shown he knows how to fight and how to win. He is the leader this moment demands, and I’m proud to endorse him for Congress.”
Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal “Filling Jerry Nadler’s shoes on the West Side and in the halls of our nation’s Capitol is no easy feat. However, no one is more capable of taking on that formidable challenge than my colleague and friend, Assemblymember Micah Lasher. From taking on the gun lobby, to protecting abortion rights, to building affordable housing, to standing up to big oil, to battling the tentacles of fascism, Micah’s encyclopedic knowledge, passion and courage has led New York through some of our toughest battles.”
Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal “Micah Lasher is exactly what the Democratic Party needs in Congress — a policy dynamo who’s never been afraid of tough fights and an experienced leader who gets results. I’ve worked closely with him in the State Legislature to protect New Yorkers against Trump’s transgressive agenda, from taking on Elon Musk to preserving full access to vaccines. From Day One in Congress, Micah will be a nightmare for Donald Trump and his MAGA minions, and he’ll bring badly needed energy to Democrats in Washington. I’m proud to endorse him and excited for the difference that I know he’ll make.”
NYC Comptroller Mark Levine “I am excited to endorse my colleague and friend Micah Lasher for Congress. I have worked side-by-side with Micah on a wide range of critical issues, from tackling our mental health crisis, to building the housing we so badly need, to battling the scourge of antisemitism. On top of this, Micah has shown time and again that he is one of the most creative and effective thinkers we have in the fight against the Trump regime. At this challenging moment, we would all benefit greatly from having Micah Lasher’s leadership in Washington, and Manhattanites would be lucky to have him succeed Jerry Nadler in Congress.”
