The Campaign Is Breaking Through
Debates, endorsements, media attention, and organizing across the district — Team Nina is gaining ground.
We've got just over five weeks until the primary - with early voting starting in just four! So we need to push hard. Now's the time to volunteer – and donate! Momentum is definitely building:
Spectrum News/NY1 officially invited Nina to participate in its televised debate on Tuesday June 9 at 7pm;
V, formerly known as Eve Ensler, author of ‘The Vagina Monologues’ endorsed Nina in a passionate video;
The Persistent, the 2026 Webby Award-winning platform, ran a story, “Four Men Are in the Back of a Taxi. Where Are the Women?” which featured Nina;
NY1/On Stage broadcast a segment featuring Nina’s reflections on the theater district;
The New York Times published an “unfavorable” piece on one candidate that included multiple “favorable” mentions of Nina.
Nina also pounded the pavement. Highlights include a wonderful house party on the UWS, hosted by Nina’s high school teacher, Franny Taliaferro, and daughter Cassandra… Nina spoke at a Community Forum on HIV prevention at the LGBT Community Center, attended an evening hosted by J Street on Israel and antisemitism, met up with local politicians at a birthday party for Comptroller Mark Levine, spoke to constituents in Hell’s Kitchen, the Straus Houses, and up and down the East and West Sides.
This week we’ll be splitting our time between canvassing local businesses and apartments – and community events, starting with the AIDS Walk NYC 2026. Hard to believe we are still fighting to help expand access to vital health services, end stigma, and change lives throughout the district. Sign up below to join us - or to canvass this weekend.

On the funding front, now is the time to push. We need to raise $150K to power our digital advertising in June. Please donate – or donate again – to keep up the momentum and help us compete. The limit is $3,500 for the primary – so if you want to see Nina in Congress, it’s time to max your donation!
