Yudelka Tapia

Yudelka Tapia is running for re-election to the State Assembly in New York’s 86th District. Tapia is committed to addressing the impacts of climate change on her community. She is a strong supporter of mass transit, as her district in The Bronx is impacted by high asthma rates. Within the Assembly she has worked to pass legislation for zero-emission public transit. Additionally, Tapia has fought to make transitioning away from natural gas affordable, and is a fierce advocate for tightening building energy codes. She supports offshore wind initiatives, climate resilience efforts, and the expansion of waste management. If re-elected, she will continue her commitment to green jobs and education programs, safe school drinking water, and expanding public access to outdoor spaces.
