GO TINA! Tina Forte is the kind of fighter New York has been missing—a small-business owner who talks about public safety, affordability, and common sense instead of slogans and cameras. After years of watching the 14th District treated like a national stage, voters deserve someone who will put Queens and the Bronx first.
AOC has built a brand on grandstanding while crime, housing costs, and quality of life keep grinding down working families. A serious challenge is overdue. Forte’s primary win is a reminder that even the safest-looking seats can be contested when people are tired of being lectured.
If you want results over celebrity politics, this is the race to watch. Back a candidate who will show up for the neighborhood, not the next viral clip, and send a message that representation still belongs to the people who live there.
