2025 CITYWIDE ELECTIONS

Electing Champions for NYC Tenants since 1997.

Every election cycle, developers, landlords and landlord organizations contribute staggering amounts of money to political candidates in New York State, in effect, bribing these elected officials to oppose tenant protection laws. The only way that tenants can counter the enormous power of real estate money is to get involved in election activity.

Since 1997 Tenants PAC has helped elect twenty-two pro-tenant State Senators and five pro-tenant Assembly Members, which includes replacing some pro-landlord Democrats with pro-tenant Democrats in primary elections. And we have come to the defense of pro-tenant incumbents when they have been challenged.
