I grew up in a working-class, immigrant, and small-business owning family — learning early what it means when systems are not built for you.
For twenty years, I’ve worked across government, labor, technology, and markets — helping people navigate broken systems, shaping policy, and bringing people together to solve problems before institutions catch up.
What made me run is this community. Not Manhattan the brand, but the people who make it extraordinary — creative, resilient, caring, and constantly showing up for one another.
NY-12 sits at the center of finance, media, technology, and culture. We can use that platform to demand something better: government that values people over power and is ready to meet the future.
That is why I’m running. Not politics as usual. Something more human, useful, and accountable.

Can I count on your support?
For two decades I've built the rules, fought for the safeguards, and held the line for people that government and markets were supposed to serve — but too often forgot.
Meet Dr. Wilneida Negrón
Building What Comes Next
I’ve never run for office before. I’ve spent my career doing the work.
I began on the front lines as a crisis counselor, helping young people, families, survivors, and seniors navigate systems that were failing them. Since then, I’ve spent two decades working across government, labor, technology, and financial markets.
I’ve helped workers and unions win protections, advised federal leaders, shaped policy on AI, wage theft, privacy, and corporate accountability, and convened people around emerging challenges before they become tomorrow’s crises.
I know how institutions work, where they fail, and how to push them to do better.
That is the experience I want to bring to Congress.

TECH AGENDA
01
PUT PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF AI, DATA, AND TECHNOLOGY
The Public Interest Technology Plan
Technology is reshaping work, education, health care, and government. Right now, too many of the rules are being written by corporations and insiders instead of the people who have to live with the consequences.

Work and Economic Opportunity Agenda
02
A PRO-WORKER ECONOMY FOR THE NEXT ERA
The Dignity of Work Plan
Working people create the value in this country. But too many workers are facing rising costs, unstable jobs, stagnant wages, and new forms of digital control on the job. Protect workers from exploitation, retaliation, and abusive surveillance
more Info
The NY-12 Affordability Agenda
03
Lower Costs and Make Daily Life More Affordable
The Household Security Plan
Too many people are doing everything right and still feel like they can’t get ahead. Rent is high. Child care is crushing. Elder care is expensive. Health costs and hidden fees keep piling up. Expand federal support for affordable housing preservation.

REFORM AGENDA
04
CLEAN GOVERNMENT AND REAL ACCOUNTABILITY
The Public Trust Plan
People are right to feel frustrated by a political system shaped by insiders, lobbyists, and wealthy donors. This is one of the clearest areas where Congress can act. Make it easier for the public to see who is profiting from government decisions

Public Health & Safety Agenda
05
SAFE COMMUNITIES THROUGH PREVENTION, CARE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The Security & Well-Being Plan
People deserve to feel safe in their neighborhoods, on the train, and in public spaces. That doesn’t come from slogans. It comes from investing in what actually works.Support federal transit investments that improve station conditions, visibility, and long-term safety

EDUCATION AGENDA
06
Strong Public Schools and Future-Ready Pathways
The Education & Opportunity Plan
With a rapidly changing economy, we need to treat public schools, vocational programs, and community colleges as the backbone of workforce infrastructure, not a side system.Protect and strengthen Title I funding for schools serving low-income students
more Info
Care & Aging Agenda
07
Lower Costs and Make Daily Life More Affordable
The Senior Dignity Plan
Aging in New York should mean safety, connection, and dignity. But too many seniors in NY-12 are aging alone, in older buildings, while navigating rising costs, fragmented healthcare, scams, emergency-response gaps, and an overstretched care system.
more Info
IMMIGRATION AGENDA
08
IMMIGRATION THAT IS ORDERLY, HUMANE, AND GROUNDED IN REALITY
The Fair Pathways Plan
New York is a city of immigrants. We should be helping lead the country toward an immigration system that is lawful, humane, and functional. Expand legal pathways and reduce the backlogs that keep families and employers stuck in limbo
more Info
GLOBAL ACCOUNTABILITY AGENDA
09
A FOREIGN POLICY THAT BUILDS INSTEAD OF MANAGING DECLINE
The Global Accountability Plan
Foreign policy is affordability policy — the US-Iran war drove gas up 40% in 2026, and that bill arrived in NY-12 kitchens. The extraction mechanisms in this plan don't stop at the border; they were built to cross it. So the same framework applies at scale: one human rights standard enforced against allies and adversaries alike, economic capacity treated as the security policy it is, and war authorized by Congress before it's fought.
