Carolyn Delvecchio Hoffman has all but locked up a second term in the Legislature after defeating Nadja Justice, the Monroe County Democratic Committee’s designated candidate with roughly 70% of the vote.
Delvecchio Hoffman ran on a progressive platform which calls for the county to expand and simplify social services and its home improvement grants program, launch a universal basic income program, invest in child care and small businesses, and provide support to programs that help young people learn skilled trades.
She has also called on the county to find alternatives to policing to address public safety issues, and to expand its affordable housing efforts, programs for youth, and healthcare services, including those addressing substance use. She also wants the county to pass rent stabilization laws and stronger eviction protections for renters.
