I grew up working-class, immigrant, and small-business — learning early what it means when the system isn't built for you. So I spent twenty years building a better one. Inside government. Inside markets. Inside the rooms where the rules actually get written. Not to make promises. To make change.
But here is what actually made me run. I get to see what the world doesn't see about this community. Not Manhattan the brand — the actual people who have built lives of extraordinary depth and creativity and care in this place. I watch this community show up for each other every single day in ways that the systems governing their lives have never matched.
NY-12 sits at the center of the media, finance, arts, and tech worlds. This community has an outsized platform and a specific responsibility. I believe we can use it to send a message — that people matter more than brands, that democracy means more ideas not fewer, that the most creative and thoughtful community in the country deserves systems brave enough to serve it.
That is why I am running. Not politics as usual. Something more.

Can I count on your support?
For two decades I've built the rules, fought for the safeguards, and held the line for people that government and markets were supposed to serve — but too often forgot.
Meet Dr. Wilneida Negrón
Building What Comes Next
I’ve never run for office before. I’ve spent my career doing the work.
I began on the front lines as a crisis counselor, helping young people, families, survivors, and seniors navigate broken healthcare, housing, and education systems. That experience shaped everything that followed.
For two decades, I have worked across government, labor, technology, and financial markets—standing with workers, helping unions win protections, strengthening communities, and making sure new technologies serve people rather than control them.
My work has taken me from supporting people in crisis to the halls of national government, where I have advised federal leaders and helped shape policy and regulatory frameworks on AI, worker surveillance, wage theft, data privacy, and corporate accountability.

I have seen what good government can do—and where Washington still falls short. That experience is not just a credential. It is a responsibility. And it is why I’m running.
TECH AGENDA
01
PUT PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF AI, DATA, AND TECHNOLOGY
The Public Interest Technology Plan
Technology is reshaping work, education, health care, and government. Right now, too many of the rules are being written by corporations and insiders instead of the people who have to live with the consequences.

Work and Economic Opportunity Agenda
02
A PRO-WORKER ECONOMY FOR THE NEXT ERA
The Dignity of Work Plan
Working people create the value in this country. But too many workers are facing rising costs, unstable jobs, stagnant wages, and new forms of digital control on the job. Protect workers from exploitation, retaliation, and abusive surveillance
more Info
The NY-12 Affordability Agenda
03
Lower Costs and Make Daily Life More Affordable
The Household Security Plan
Too many people are doing everything right and still feel like they can’t get ahead. Rent is high. Child care is crushing. Elder care is expensive. Health costs and hidden fees keep piling up. Expand federal support for affordable housing preservation.

REFORM AGENDA
04
CLEAN GOVERNMENT AND REAL ACCOUNTABILITY
The Public Trust Plan
People are right to feel frustrated by a political system shaped by insiders, lobbyists, and wealthy donors. This is one of the clearest areas where Congress can act. Make it easier for the public to see who is profiting from government decisions

Public Health & Safety Agenda
05
SAFE COMMUNITIES THROUGH PREVENTION, CARE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The Security & Well-Being Plan
People deserve to feel safe in their neighborhoods, on the train, and in public spaces. That doesn’t come from slogans. It comes from investing in what actually works.Support federal transit investments that improve station conditions, visibility, and long-term safety

EDUCATION AGENDA
06
Strong Public Schools and Future-Ready Pathways
The Education & Opportunity Plan
With a rapidly changing economy, we need to treat public schools, vocational programs, and community colleges as the backbone of workforce infrastructure, not a side system.Protect and strengthen Title I funding for schools serving low-income students
more Info
Care & Aging Agenda
07
Lower Costs and Make Daily Life More Affordable
The Senior Dignity Plan
Aging in New York should mean safety, connection, and dignity. But too many seniors in NY-12 are aging alone, in older buildings, while navigating rising costs, fragmented healthcare, scams, emergency-response gaps, and an overstretched care system.
more Info
IMMIGRATION AGENDA
08
IMMIGRATION THAT IS ORDERLY, HUMANE, AND GROUNDED IN REALITY
The Fair Pathways Plan
New York is a city of immigrants. We should be helping lead the country toward an immigration system that is lawful, humane, and functional. Expand legal pathways and reduce the backlogs that keep families and employers stuck in limbo
