Said, "Nothing is more important to Erik than working to protect tenants and fighting to keep homes in North Brooklyn affordable. In the Assembly, Erik led the fight to pass the strongest rent laws in a generation. He brings proven leadership to the fight from his years chairing the Housing & Buildings Committee on the City Council where he forged consensus on legislation that shaped citywide housing policy. Erik remains committed to legislation that supports vulnerable people and that will bring more lower and middle income homes apartments to Brooklyn. And he’ll continue to fight to keep private equity investors out of the market for small homes and rentals."
