We’ll be back in 2 years, stronger than before, with the lessons we learned from this cycle and the knowledge that there are many people in our district who are ready for the change we campaigned on.
Thank you to everyone helped out along the way.
I’ll see you around the neighborhood soon.
We are going to continue to build, continue to push power, continue to protect our immigrant communities; together.
If you live in Eastern Queens, I invite you to get involved with the independant @eastqueensdems.bsky.social that I helped co-found last year.
Scared of a candidate that was able to be outside, talking to people, telling neighbors about our plan for the future, when their candidate could not.
We are not going away like some candidates do when they hit the end of the road.
The Queens Democratic establishment is kicking us off the ballot.
They do not trust my neighbors to vote for them given another option, so they make sure there is no other option in June.
The incumbent, her team and the county democrats are scared of what our campaign was building.

To my trans neighbors, I see you and want you to know that you matter and you are enough exactly as you are. Everyone deserves the same freedom to live their authentic selves and to be safe and secure doing so. Your rights are human rights, just as everyone else. I will always be there for you, along with our other LGBTQ neighbors. It is my promise to continue showing up to advocate for you and ensure we continue to protect your access to healthcare and beyond.

Cassie would like you to know that I am a good human and you should vote for me.

We found car parts, all sorts of plastics and a lot of other junk washed ashore.
This is also why the State Legislature must pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act to help ensure the plastics we take off the beach don’t inevitably make their way right back.
Yesterday, @votewelch.bsky.social and I took a brief break from getting signatures to help Friends of Little Bay Park clean up one of the beaches at the park.
We could have a wonderful spot for Northeast Queens families to enjoy the ocean if we continue to help clean up the beach.
Image is a yellow background with blue borders. Andrew Engel for State Senate District 11 logo on top. The heading reads “Statement on the LaGuardia Plane Crash.” The text below that says “Last night at LaGuardia airport, a landing Air Canada Express going 130mph collided with a Port Authority fire engine on the runway. My thoughts are with the families of the two Air Canada pilots who lost their lives in the crash and with all of those injured. Many individuals have already been released from the hospital, and I hope all injured have a speedy recovery.”
Image is a yellow background with blue borders. Andrew Engel for State Senate District 11 logo is on top. The text reads “The NTSB has been on the scene all night and will do the important work of investigating what went wrong and how to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. It is vital that New York State does everything in its power to follow the NTSB findings. Congress must also expedite funding necessary Air Traffic Control infrastructure upgrades and solutions to fix our Air Traffic Controller shortage across the country. These two priorities have been neglected for far too long, we must finally see action now.”
My thoughts are with the families of the two pilots who lost their lives last night and with everyone injured in this tragedy. See my full statement below.
Saturday 3/21. Huge petitioning drive.
📍Where: Queens County Farm, 10:00am.
We’ll be joined by and carrying for @votewelch.bsky.social for NY-3 too.
Let’s get us on the ballot!

We have two more weeks to show the Queens establishment we’re here to stay. Help get me on the ballot by signing up to petition with us today. AndrewEngelForNY.com/volunteer. Link in bio.

The odds are stacked against challengers like Kat and I. In New York, we have to collect thousands of signatures within a month just to appear on the ballot. It’s designed to keep incumbents in power and prevent anyone from challenging the status quo.
That’s democracy?
Sign up to help us get on the ballot at andrewengelforny.com/volunteer or chip in $10 now at actblue.com/donate/aengelforny.
With relatively few improvements, we can safely connect all of these parks and trails together.
I look forward to working with my neighbors to continue pushing these projects forward.
**ENDORSEMENT ALERT** Proud to be endorsed by the Eastern Queens Greenway, a coalition of neighbors with one goal: to create a family safe route from Flushing Meadows to Alley Pond Park and the Joe Michaels Mile.
Come petition with me! We still need the extra power to make sure we’re on the ballot for June. Sign up to volunteer at andrewengelforny.com/volunteer.

Next fundraising cutoff is today, March 12!
Help me make the NY Young Republicans (NYYR) worries come true by chipping in $10 to help me defeat the status-quo incumbent. The NYYR think they can flip this seat if the incumbent remains, let’s prevent that from happening.
There's still time to help Andrew have a strong fundraising report!
Getting to know Andrew has been one of the loveliest parts of this campaign. (If you're in NE Queens, please sign our petitions.)
He is smart, kind, and cares about helping people. We'd all be lucky to have him in the NYS Senate.
Thanks to everyone who came out! Running for office is a lot of work, but I am grateful to be connecting with so many people in our district who share the belief that we can have a better future if we are willing to fight for it.
Our next filing deadline is tomorrow! The young Republicans already think they can flip this seat if the incumbent remains but have been worried about me defeating her. Help us finish strong by chipping in $10 now! Actblue.com/donate/aengelforny.
Reminder that we'll be at One Station Plaza tonight for a Meet and Greet! Come learn more about how @aengelnyc.bsky.social and I want to fight to help you, sign a petition to help us get on the ballot, learn how to get involved, or just say hi!

Hi everyone! @votewelch.bsky.social (who’s running for NY-3 against Suozzi) and I are having a meet & greet fundraiser THIS WEDNESDAY, March 11, at One Station Plaza in Bayside from 7:00p-9:00p. Come join us and our neighbors as we build our movement. actblue.com/donate/sd11ny3
Hi NE Queens and Long Island!
It's a gorgeous day here in Fort Totten, and @aengelnyc.bsky.social and I are here collecting signatures to get in the ballot (we won't sell your data)!
We can't have better leaders without primaries.
We can't have primaries without getting on the ballot.
I have a vision for the future of our district Senator Stavisky, where’s yours? I couldn’t find it anywhere. Looking forward to hearing from your team.
#nyc #politics #queens #challenge #debate
Hi northeast Queens,
It is almost a nice day! Come visit at Fort Totten and help me and @aengelnyc.bsky.social get on the ballot!!
It's free, takes 30 seconds, and we won't sell your data or put you on lists.
Come help us get on the ballot! actionnetwork.org/groups/aengelnyc.
Never done it before? No problem! We’ll have trainings before every shift.
The Young Republicans are eyeing to flip this seat from the incumbent — but they’re scared of the movement we’re building & are preparing for our win.
