Bio

My name is Kristen Gonzalez. I'm a tech worker who grew up organizing in this city, and I'm running for state Senate as part of a larger movement. I was raised in a one-bedroom apartment in Elmhurst, Queens by a single mom from Puerto Rico. At 12, I won a scholarship to a wealthy prep school on the Upper East Side. For years, I commuted between two New Yorks- one for the rich and wealthy few, and one for working-class and immigrant families like mine. I've spent the last ten years organizing to change things, from working in the Obama White House to launching campaigns to lower our rents, tackle the climate crisis, and build mutual aid networks to help one another in COVID.
