A 24-year-old transgender democratic socialist announced her bid to unseat a Queens assemblyman accused of sexual abuse and become Albany’s first non-binary lawmaker.
Émilia Decaudin, who is a member of New York’s Democratic Committee, said Tuesday she would run against Assembly member Juan Ardila, who has resisted calls from party leaders to resign over accusations of sexual misconduct.
If Ardila finishes his term, Decaudin would not face off against him at the ballot box until next year’s primary election.
The self-described “socialist organizer” and “transgender rights advocate” said in a press release she would work to make Assembly District 37 — which spans from Long Island City to Ridgewood — more “affordable” and “inclusive.”
“New York cannot be the sanctuary it claims to be if people can’t afford to live here,” Decaudin said.
“Whether you’re a fourth-generation Woodsider, an asylum seeker, or a teenager escaping anti-trans laws in Florida, we need a New York that is affordable and sustainable for working people and that’s what I am fighting for.”
Decaudin first became involved with politics while volunteering for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign at the age of 16.

Which will keep playing with massive government debt, printed money and manipulated interest rates funneled to woke government's cronies.
And the day that dies, the freak show will end immediately.
The shitocrats have created a monster they cannot control. Instead of eating them last that crocodile is going after them first.
What a dweeb!

AND this demon possessed IT will probably win! These is why we need to secede from DC and blue states. They are killing us!!
Something about a transsexual running in Queens just seems appropriate.
He fits the criteria for a New York City Politician to a Tee.
Hundred percent! I’ve never liked Cornells gap toothed ass more than I do now!
This is all so dang confusing. The backlash can’t come soon enough.
Is it too early to buy popcorn for the day this thing runs to take AOC’s seat in the U.S. Congress?
Embrace the Suck, NY! You voted for it.
6. West is a hardcore MARXIST and racist. The only “buck” I would give him is either one with horns or off of a horse.
Max-use your head.
It’s called bang-for-the-buck. Unfortunately Cornell West doesn’t seem to have a contribution page on the web. Maybe he’s not really serious. The Green Party’s the way. Big enough to get noticed. Nader got 1%. Tipped the election. We gotta be smart here. I’d love to give $10.
