New York Working Families Party

“Ryder is committed to delivering a home New Yorkers can afford, expanding access to childcare, lowering healthcare costs, and defending immigrant communities from federal attacks. The June primary will be a critical opportunity to elect leaders who are prepared to fight for working people and deliver bold, permanent solutions to the affordability crisis.”

Comptroller Mark Levine

"Ryder Kessler is a progressive champion who knows how to get results, and I’m proud to endorse him for State Assembly in the 66th District. As one of Manhattan’s most tenacious organizers, Ryder understands the housing crisis our city faces and will be a powerful voice for New Yorkers. He’s an effective and engaged community leader, and I know he’ll be a great Assembly Member.”
