As a longtime public defender, Eli has spent his career fighting for low-income individuals who cannot afford an attorney. He is a strong advocate for tenants’ rights, and in healthcare, for ending medical debt and expanding access to mental healthcare and substance abuse care.

Proud to be endorsed by @DoctorsCouncil, the nation’s oldest & largest union of attending physicians.
Every day, doctors work not only for their patients, but against a profit-driven insurance system. Together we’ll fight to fully fund our hospitals & pass the NY Health Act .

With a background in union organizing, Eon is a strong supporter of the New York Health Act, stronger protections for tenants, the expansion of affordable housing, and raising the revenue we need to protect healthcare workers and our safety-net hospitals.
I’m proud to be endorsed by @DoctorsCouncil, the collective bargaining unit of NYC’s doctors.
As we fight to bring free, universal, and accessible care to all New Yorkers, doctors MUST have a seat at the table.

We appreciate @NYCmayor Mamdani’s veto of Intro 175B to protect free speech and worker power. We’re ready to work with the administration to defend workers’ rights and our Constitutional freedoms.
Last month, the City Council passed two bills related to the constitutional right to protest — one for houses of worship, and one for educational institutions.
Today, I’m letting one bill go into effect, and vetoing the other. I’d like to take a moment to explain why.
As Mayor, I will always make sure the right to protest, prayer and protection are guaranteed for every New Yorker.
Community note
Mamdani’s claim of vetoing one bill while “letting one bill go into effect” omits context: the houses of worship buffer-zone bill passed the City Council with a veto-proof 44–5 majority. Mamdani vetoed having buffer-zones at schools, which passed without a veto-proof majority.

We are proud to stand with our union and community allies in opposition to this bill. We are concerned this legislation will restrict free speech, and negatively impact our patients and communities. We call on @NYCMayor Mamdani to veto Intro 175-B.

University Hospitals in Ohio illegally fired two pediatricians because they advocated for better working conditions and care for their patients.

Rather than respecting the right of its doctors to advocate for better working conditions and care for patients, University Hospitals in Ohio chose to fire pediatricians Drs. Beene and Fouts-Fowler for speaking up.
University Hospitals must immediately reinstate these doctors.

@ZohranKMamdani has been a supporter of public hospitals for many years including during our contract negotiations. We need a mayor that will work with HCWs to build a healthier NYC, not defund safety net hospitals. Go vote! @DoctorsCouncil
