Southeast Queens Runs Point in New York Politics
Southeast Queens has been a power base for generations. From Jamaica to St. Albans, Springfield Gardens to Laurelton, the community turns out, organizes, and sends leaders to Albany and City Hall who carry the neighborhood on their backs. Election Day is here, and all eyes are on the leaders from Southeast Queens and across the state who are reshaping the political map.

In February 2026, Governor Kathy Hochul tapped former City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as her running mate. Adams is a proud Southeast Queens Democrat who brings decades of community-rooted public service to the statewide stage. She came up in the neighborhood, and she carries that grounding into every room.
Adams took the gavel as Speaker of the New York City Council in 2022, and she presided over a Council with its first female majority and perhaps its most diverse makeup ever. She led the whole Council after starting out chairing Community Board 12 in Queens.
Adams started her public service chairing Queens Community Board 12 for three terms. She joined the City Council in 2017 and took the gavel as Speaker in 2022. According to The New York Times, she became the first Black woman to serve as New York City Council Speaker. She then led one of the most diverse Council's from City Hall.
The pairing makes the first all-female major-party ticket for governor and lieutenant governor in New York history. A win makes Adams the state's first Black female lieutenant governor, a milestone that belongs to every Black woman who held a community together without a title or a spotlight. EMILYs List backs the Hochul-Adams team, which champions a collaborative state budget, families first, and a strong stand against federal policies that clash with New York values.
Tish Holds the Line
Attorney General Letitia "Tish" James stays a pivotal figure for New York Democrats. Supporters celebrate her legal grit, and she has held a national spotlight through her sweeping legal challenges against Donald Trump and his business entities. For voters in Southeast Queens and across the state, Tish is the legal firewall that protects civil rights, reproductive freedom, and institutional accountability.

The Road Ahead
Southeast Queens remains a foundation of the Democratic platform. Advocates say backing leaders like Hochul, Adams, and James secures real representation, economic investment, and progressive leadership for New York. The community has the numbers, the history, and the voice, and it shows up every cycle.
New Self-Help Book
“Blame It on the Feel of Pain”
About Detangling From Past Pain
Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.
The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.
Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!
