Friend,

Ask any working parent in New York, and they'll tell you the same thing: it's getting harder to make ends meet.

Groceries, rent, childcare—the cost of raising a family has become so punishingly high that many New Yorkers have no choice but to leave. Families with children 6 or younger are twice as likely as others to move out of New York City. And those who remain are struggling: one in four New Yorkers can't afford essentials.

With Trump-Musk Republicans threatening to shred Medicaid and other social services that millions of New Yorkers rely on, it's more important than ever that we take bold action to address the affordability crisis.

I've got a plan to do that. My Working Families Tax Credit would give families up to $1,600 per child, pinned to inflation and paid out quarterly.

What does that mean for working parents? Imagine a family of four with a toddler and school-age child—maybe one parent works retail while the other is a janitor—that earns $65,000 annually. They receive just $660 under current tax policy. Under a recent proposal by the governor, they’d get $1,500. But under the Working Families Tax Credit, they’d receive at least $3,200.

My proposal would slash deep child poverty by 22% and increase the net income of more than a third of New York residents. It’s the best way to tackle the affordability crisis, put more money in parents' pockets and grow the middle class. That’s why I'm fighting to include it in this year’s state budget.

If we want New York to be a place where working families have a real shot at making it, we have to give them the support to take that shot. My Working Families Tax Credit is the best way to do that.
