New York, NY — Citizen Action of New York has announced its endorsement of Harvey Epstein in the 74th Assembly District. The district encompasses the lower east side of Manhattan.
Harvey Epstein won a special election earlier in the year to fill the Assembly seat previously held by State Senator Brian Kavanaugh. Epstein is a public interest attorney and longtime advocate for tenant rights and affordable housing.

He recognizes that housing instability is one of the most pressing issues faced by people in the 74th Assembly District,” said Margaret Segall, Board Member for Citizen Action of New York. “We’re proud to be supporting Harvey in his reelection bid.”
“I am honored to have received the support of Citizen Action who stands on the forefront of the social justice movement in New York,” said Harvey Epstein, Assemblymember in the 74th District. “I am proud to stand with them as we fight injustices dealing with race, class, and power, and move towards a more just world.”
