Prices are up.
Results are down.

Toby Stavisky has represented us since 1999. In that time, the cost of living in Queens has exploded, she co-sponsored a plan to put non-citizens on state health coverage, and her son built a lobbying business representing the sports-betting industry her committee oversees.

Price increases during Stavisky's time in office

Since she took office in 1999, the basics have gotten dramatically more expensive. We can no longer afford Toby Stavisky in the State Senate.

She co-sponsored a bill to cover non-citizens. Who picks up the tab?

Stavisky signed on as a co-sponsor of S.2237, which directed the state to open public health coverage to adults who are ineligible because of their immigration status.

As first written, if Washington refused to pay, the bill would have expanded Medicaid to those adults using state-only funding — New York taxpayers' money.

She voted for it on the Senate floor twice, in June 2023 and May 2024, and voted to advance it out of the Finance Committee in February 2024.

Healthcare is already one of the biggest costs Queens families face. Stavisky's priority was expanding coverage to non-citizens.

Toby Stavisky endorsed the DSA's Diana Moreno.

In February's special election for Assembly District 36, Stavisky lined up behind Diana Moreno, a former co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America's Queens chapter.

Since taking office, Moreno has pushed the "Not On Our Dime!" Act targeting New York nonprofits that support Israeli settlements — and told constituents in her official newsletter that
