"We are not going anywhere, and we will not stop until we see a socialist slate across this city!" she went on.
Gonzalez is running on a far-left, socialist platform promising she will "cancel student debt," "free healthcare," "aggressive action on climate" to "build a Green New York," "Good Cause rent protections" that make it harder for landlords to evict tenants and "make sure our neighborhoods stay working-class and diverse."

"We need to tax the rich to finally invest in public housing, and build hundreds of thousands of new, affordable, and green homes to solve the housing crisis and start building a Green New York for all," Gonzalez's campaign website reads.
Gonzalez, who was part of the final intern class in the Obama administration and is a former staffer for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is also running on a platform of "queer liberation."
