What We’re Fighting For

A New York you can afford

Whether you rent or own, the cost of staying in Queens shouldn't force you out. Steven will fight for tenant protections, investing in vital housing subsidies, and providing relief for homeowners and seniors on fixed incomes.

A community that works

From the 7 train to flooded basements in Glendale, Western Queens deserves infrastructure that actually functions. Steven will fight for transit investment, sewer upgrades, and streets that are safe for everyone.

Dignity for working people

Our street vendors, union workers, small business owners all keep this community alive, and they deserve protection – not displacement. We will continue to protect workers, make universal healthcare a reality, and push for universal childcare.

Immigrant justice and strong communities

Western Queens is one of the most diverse places on earth. Steven will fight to keep families together, expand access to legal representation, and fight against ICE and fascists in our community.

"I've seen what happens when government doesn't show up for people like us. I've also seen what's possible when it does. Western Queens deserves a Senator who knows the difference — and has spent their whole life fighting for it."

About Steve

Steven Raga grew up in Woodside, Queens, the son of a Filipina immigrant and Teamsters member who raised him alone in a series of basement apartments, facing eviction more than once. Those experiences shaped everything—his two decades of community organizing, his work leading Woodside on the Move, and his belief that the people who make Western Queens what it is deserve a government that actually fights for them.

In 2022, Steven made history as the first Filipino American and first Southeast Asian ever elected to the New York State Legislature. Since then he has delivered, winning Good Cause Eviction protections, the Housing Access Voucher Program, and hundreds of millions of dollars for housing, hospitals, and public universities. Now he is running for State Senate to finish what he started. For Western Queens. For all of us.
