In this episode, we sit down with Senator Jessica Ramos, a proud daughter of Jackson Heights, Queens, whose journey from a working-class Colombian immigrant household to the New York State Senate fuels her fight for the people. Now, she’s running for NYC Mayor, determined to create a city that truly uplifts immigrants, workers, and everyday New Yorkers.

She calls out Mayor Eric Adams for vilifying immigrants while benefiting from their labor, exposes NY’s wage theft crisis, and stresses why a Latino-majority city needs a Spanish-speaking mayor. She also shares her life beyond politics—being a mom, still riding the NYC subway, her love for salsa music, and even meeting Bad Bunny before his rise to fame.

With her campaign in full swing, she’s raising funds to qualify for the ballot and pushing for real change. Tune in to hear why she believes it’s time for bold leadership in NYC!
