I’m Vichal Kumar. I’m running for Congress in NY-7 to Dismantle ICE, Empower Workers & Guarantee Healthcare.
Resist. Reclaim. Reimagine.

EXTENDED UNRELEASED CLIP: @kumar4ny talks death of Mr. Shah Alam.
Still do, it’s a clear example of the cruelty of our criminal legal and immigration systems. It embodies why I’m here and what I’m fighting for.
Multiple systems conspiring to cause the death of Mr. Shah Alam. We deserve better.

Public defender @kumar4ny says we need to step away from siloed mentality and move into a state of connectedness, collaboration, and shared information, in order to fully build a city and government that’s accessible to all.
@ReynosoBrooklyn became an everyday advocate for the disabled community for his sons.
@juliej_won’s aunt influenced her decision to support @NYCCouncil’s intro. 303
@claireforny believes @Columbia should help make the city more accessible for everyone. ablenews.com/candidates-spea…

Chris Almon, 40, a lawyer, said he didn't vote for Reynoso, Valdez, or Won, but for a lesser-known candidate, Vichal Kumar, a public defender. "A lot of the candidates had pretty similar platforms, but it came down to professional background for me."
1/11 At the start of this race, all four of us made the same promise: no super PACs, no unlimited outside money.
Early voting is already underway. I’m the only one who kept it.
Do we want money out of politics, or do we just want to win? 🧵
10/11 I don’t trust politicians to fix these systems. Given what I’ve watched in this race, can you blame me?
Thank you for having me @NY1 @InsideCityHall. It was great chatting with @errollouis on everything from my childhood working at my parents' convenience store, my career fighting for families throughout NYC as a public defender for the past two decades, and why I want to continue that fight in Congress now.

After 35 years of service, Congresswoman @NydiaVelazquez is retiring.
We’ve asked candidates running for the NY-7 seat in our June 23rd primary to appeal directly to Greenpoint Voters.
First up, @kumar4ny !
Early voting is happening NOW 🗳️💚
Early voting until June 21st. We're right at the top of the ballot. Polls measure name recognition, elections measure who shows up.
Three politicians, or the public defender who’s spent 20+ years in the fight for this community.
