Democrat NY Congressional Candidate Backed by Radical Mamdani Pushing “Trans Bill of Rights”
Wants Taxpayers to Foot the Bill for Surgeries, Housing and More
Radical New York State Assemblymember Claire Valdez, a longtime leader in NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) and backed by Marxist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is running in the Democratic primary for New York’s 7th congressional district.
Valdez is making sure that ‘trans rights’ are front and center in her campaign.
In an interview released on Friday, Valdez told podcast host Mike from PA, “When we talk about trans rights and bodily autonomy and we talk about universal programs like social housing, like Medicare for all, like all of these programs, you know, we know that trans people, and trans youth especially, are often the highest at risk for homelessness, retaliation at their jobs.”
“So we have to be focused, really enshrining their rights within universal programs and making sure that Medicare for All includes gender-affirming care and health care for trans folks.”
“We need to make sure that we’re enshrining their rights in a Trans Bill of Rights and in workplaces.”
“And making sure that there’s real housing that is available, you know, for everyone, but especially trans people who are most at risk of being homeless or kicked out of their homes.”
