Hi Reddit,

My name is Jonathan Herzog and I'm a Democrat running for Congress in New York's 10th District (the west side of Manhattan south Brooklyn).

COVID-19 is causing a 9/11 death toll every single day. We've entered a new Great Depression. More than 40 million Americans are unemployed. Yet Congress has been on recess. If New York had shut down just 10 days sooner, up to 80% of all deaths could have been avoided. Our politicians have been asleep at the switch.

We need to wake up. We need a Representative with 21st century solutions for 21st century crises. I won't sit back as we watch our city and country burn and say, "we're fucked."

I'm a civil rights organizer and legal advocate born and raised on the border of Hell's Kitchen and the Upper West Side. I was part of the founding team that built Andrew Yang's 2020 presidential campaign, joining as the 6th hire, helping get Yang on Rogan, qualify for the DNC debates, and bring universal basic income to the mainstream.

We need a new generation of Freedom Democrats committed to fighting for deep freedom, not shallow equality. To raise the floor, not lower the ceiling. To build the future, not find others to blame.

Universal basic income may not solve every problem, but it makes every problem easier to solve.

If we get just 2% of all New Yorkers in the 10th District (15,000 people) to vote for our vision by June 23rd, we'll win the seat.

Ask me anything!
