What experienced NYC leaders are saying about Virginia

“When Virginia Maloney worked on my campaign, I was immediately struck by her love for our City and her determination to figure out solutions to some of the biggest issues facing New Yorkers. Since then, I’ve only seen that commitment to our community grow as she’s developed the expertise required to help lead New York City forward.

As a former NYC Council Speaker, I can tell you that she’s exactly the kind of person we need in the Council right now. She is extremely hardworking, talented, and dedicated to good governance and transparency. I wholeheartedly support her campaign to build a more equitable City and bring common-sense solutions to address New York City’s affordability and quality of life crises.”

Gifford Miller

"Virginia Maloney is exactly the smart, capable and dedicated feminist that we need in the City Council right now. With Trump in the White House, we need strong leadership in local government to protect New York women’s fundamental rights and access to reproductive healthcare."

Eleanor Smeal

“As a former President of the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City who has served on its Executive Board since 1990, I can say that Virginia Maloney has the smarts and experience to hit the ground running as our next Council Member. A lifelong East Sider, she’ll be a forceful voice for our communities and our values, and a champion for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers.”

Brice Peyre

Former NYS and NYC economic development leader Eric Gertler, for whom Virginia worked during her time at New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC)* shared words of praise, “Virginia is a force. She is extremely smart and incredibly hard working but she is also one of those rare individuals who knows innately how to get projects and assignments accomplished, even when it involves many different groups. Add to that, she is quite visionary in her thinking. I am confident that when she puts her mind to something, she will get it done and will deliver real results."

What members of Community Boards and Democratic Clubs are saying

“I've known Virginia for more than 15 years and enthusiastically endorse her. She’s demonstrated a long-term interest and commitment to public service, dating back to our time at Princeton’s School for Public and International Affairs. She’s been a dedicated member of the Lexington Democratic Club, fighting tirelessly alongside me to elect moderate, common sense Democrats and help pass Proposition 1 protecting abortion access. Virginia knows our neighborhoods, our issues, and our values, and will help to usher in a new generation of leadership to represent our communities on the City Council."
