Samantha Kattan
D · New York State Assembly, District 37 · not rated
AD-37 (LIC/Sunnyside/Woodside); DSA-endorsed tenant organizer, endorsed by JVP Action, Sanders, and WFP; won the June 23, 2026 primary. Not rated: her campaign site, social media, interviews, questionnaires and DSA/JVP coverage contain no individual statement by Kattan on Israel, Gaza, 'genocide,' BDS, the arms embargo, or Not on Our Dime. Her platform is strictly domestic (housing, childcare, anti-ICE). JVP lists her among the Democratic nominees present at its Sep 24, 2026 anti-war sit-in outside the UN, which called for an end to arming Israel (she was not among those arrested); no statement from her there is recorded.
Not rated: no statement of her own on Israel, Gaza, the genocide, BDS or Not on Our Dime is on the public record. Her JVP Action endorsement blurb is one of two among its eighteen 2026 endorsees with no reference to Palestine, Israel, anti-Zionism or BDS, and JVP’s list of nominees present at its September 24 sit-in outside the UN records her presence, not words of hers. Unrated until a position is stated — a personal statement on Gaza or BDS, a pledge to cosponsor Not on Our Dime, or her votes once seated.
