Nina is proud to have the support of elected officials, community leaders, advocates, and neighbors across New York and around the world who believe in building a healthier, more just, inclusive, and accountable government.
Thomas K. Duane
"Nina Schwalbe is exactly the kind of leader New York's 12th District needs right now. She is a brilliant, fearless public health expert who has dedicated her life to fixing broken systems and protecting vulnerable people — which is exactly what Congress needs to be doing. I've known this district for decades, and I know Nina will fight for every single person in it."
Congressman Jim Himes, Connecticut
"We need her in Congress. I hope you'll join me in supporting Nina Schwalbe and help get her elected."
Vittoria Fariello
"Nina is exactly who we need in Congress: a doer who puts people first and who has the experience and competence to ensure every family has a powerful voice in Washington."
Jo Ivey Boufford
Nina provides a rare combination of the intelligence and experience needed to bring evidence to elected officials and policy makers in ways they can use and the passion and ability to partner with them to advocate for effective policies and programs that will improve and protect the health of all Americans.
Charles King
"I’ve spent my life fighting to make sure our neighbors get the care and the housing they deserve. I’m backing Nina Schwalbe because she understands both the policy and the people affected by it. Nina has the moral clarity and the heart to ensure that our federal government treats every person in this country with the dignity and respect they deserve."
Sommer Omar
"There are few candidates for office already equipped with the technical and policy expertise needed to meet this complicated moment. There are even fewer with an unflinching moral compass. Nina is the rare person who has both."
Rt. Hon Helen Clark
"Nina is not afraid to speak truth to power and her track record of saving lives, tackling poverty and cutting the cost of lifesaving medicines to the world’s poorest is the type of transformative leadership needed in the U.S. right now."
Deborah Copaken
"Nina Schwalbe is the rare candidate who values data over drama, bringing a scientist’s precision to a political system that has been ignoring our collective pulse for far too long."

Peter Staley
