A Mother. A Social Worker. A Voice for NY 105 Families.
I'm Brooklyn Talarico — a mom, a licensed social worker, and a Hudson Valley resident who has lived and worked in this community for the past decade. Over 20 years working directly with individuals and families, I've seen firsthand how rising costs and limited access to care shape everyday life for the people I serve.
Those experiences are why I'm running for New York State Assembly in District 105.
Leadership starts with listening — understanding what neighbors are actually experiencing, and bringing those realities to Albany so that policy reflects real life.
-
Fair Rates, Not Corporate Profits
Hold utility companies accountable so families aren't choosing between heating their homes and paying rent.
-
Care Shouldn't Depend on Your Zip Code
Protect and expand access to healthcare and mental health services for every family in District 105.
-
No Family Should Go Broke on Childcare
Make quality childcare accessible and affordable so parents can work without sacrificing their kids' care.
-
A Place to Call Home, Within Reach
Address the shortage of affordable housing.
I’m running because I believe the people closest to the problems often understand the solutions best. Families know what they need. Communities know where the barriers are. I believe Albany needs more people who are willing to listen before they lead.
