My name is Reshma Saujani

I am a dedicated Democrat, a community activist, a Yale University legal scholar, and an attorney in New York City. But first and foremost, I am the daughter of political refugees whose story embodies the promise of life in America. Read more — For questions or more info email [email protected].

Reshma Saujani

I’m so proud of what we built together.  I’m so proud of the race we ran.  I’m so proud of the energy and optimism that you’ve shown every single day.  I’m so proud that the people on this campaign stood up for what they believed in, and got involved, and made a difference.  I’m so proud of the communities we helped to energize and activate, because everyone deserves to be heard, especially those New Yorkers who have been overlooked for too long. 
 
I’m proud, and I’m also grateful beyond words, because we did what you’re not supposed to do when it comes to politics in this city and this state.  You’re not supposed to run against the establishment.  You’re not supposed to stick to your beliefs, even if it costs you votes.  You’re not supposed to take unpopular positions, even if they’re the right positions to take.  You’re not supposed to reach out to constituencies that ordinarily don’t vote.
 
We started this campaign a year ago in a living room with a small group of friends and supporters.  We didn’t have any money.  We didn’t have any institutional support.  In fact, a lot of people tried to keep us out of this race.

Labor Day Statement

"Today, we celebrate the men and women who work hard to make this country great. It's fitting that the first Labor Day was celebrated here in New York City, the epicenter of innovation and industry, over a hundred years ago. For generations, hard-working Americans from all backgrounds have been the engine of our economic prosperity. "In these especially difficult times, we must continue to do everything to ensure we are keeping our trust with the men and women upon which our economy relies. We must do more to support workers, promote education, grow small businesses, and spur innovation. Today, we thank hard-working Americans and recommit to rebuild our economy, brick-by-brick, rail-by-rail, solar panel-by-solar panel, for the next generation of Americans."

Russell Simmons Endorses Reshma

Today, Reshma announced that Russell Simmons has endorsed her campaign. Simmons, an entrepreneur, activist, and the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, said that Reshma is a new type of politician with a fresh perspective and commitment to issues that affect all New Yorkers. In endorsing Reshma, Simmons said that he believes she will be a strong advocate for neighborhoods in the 14th District that have been left behind. "Reshma is exactly the type of person we need to send to Washington right now," said Simmons in a statement. "It's refreshing to have a politician who speaks her mind and advocates for what she believes is right -- no matter the political consequences. We need people who will give voice to underrepresented communities in New York City, and I have all the confidence in the world that Reshma will be that voice." Simmons -- a Queens native -- believes that Reshma is the best choice to represent the 14th District in Washington.

Statement on September 11th

"Nine years ago today, close to 3,000 men and women lost their lives in a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. As a city and as a country, we will never forget those who died in this terrible tragedy. I grieve alongside those who lost loved ones on that fateful day and am overwhelmed by admiration and gratitude for the incredibly strong and extraordinarily selfless firemen and policemen who risked and sacrificed their own lives to rescue those of others. "I am pleased to see progress continue at the World Trade Center site. I applaud the construction workers for their incredible work rebuilding at this hallowed ground. Our city has truly come together to create a space of remembrance and community. "With this in mind, we cannot forget that many of those responsible for the tragedy of September 11th remain free and there are others who wish to do us harm. It is our nation’s responsibility to pursue these terrorists, both for the sake of our homeland and for the sake of the democracies worldwide."
