New York City Comptroller

Mark Levine

“Stephanie Ruskay is the real deal - a public school parent, tenant, and multi-faith organizer who personally understands the issues impacting Upper West Side and Morningside Heights families. Stephanie will be a fierce advocate for more affordable housing, childcare, and healthcare, for safer neighborhoods, and will protect New Yorkers from Trump’s extremist policies. I’m excited to endorse her for State Assembly and know she’ll be a force to be reckoned with in Albany.”

New York City Council Majority Leader

Shaun Abreu

“Stephanie Ruskay is a West Sider through and through. A trusted pillar of our community, she’s walked these streets for nearly four decades. She knows our issues, shares our values, and is a powerful organizer and advocate, which we need now more than ever to protect our city from Trump's vengeful attacks. Stephanie will stand alongside me to fight for affordability and safety for our neighborhoods. I have been deeply impressed by Stephanie's integrity, energy, work ethic, and fresh voice. With her, District 69 will have a tireless champion, and a leader who can hold complex and conflicting ideas simultaneously. I'm proud to endorse Stephanie and work to elect her as our next Assemblymember."

Former Manhattan Borough President

Ruth Messinger

“At this dark moment in our country’s history, we need New York State to be on the front lines fighting for our rights and for the future of our democracy. And on the West Side, in our great tradition, we need a progressive fighter in the State Assembly, standing up to special interests and pursuing policies and budgets that protect all of our people.

I choose Stephanie Ruskay as my candidate for this seat, a fierce activist dedicated to this community her entire adult life and ready to jump into the electoral fray and do battle on our behalf. I strongly endorse her, and hope she becomes the first woman to serve the 69th Assembly District in 50 years.”

I'm excited to support her run for New York State Assembly and look forward to supporting strong, progressive leadership for the West Side,"
