Former Judge Karen Ortiz for Congress — Free Campaign Launch Party
Join us to celebrate the launch of this people-powered campaign for Congress. Come meet Karen, hear her vision, learn about her platform, ask questions, and be part of a movement to bring real accountability and leadership back to Congress.
New York City deserves representation by the people and for the people. For too long, we’ve watched career politicians put financial gain, celebrity, and party loyalty ahead of the real, hard work of serving our communities. It’s time for something different.
That’s where Former Judge and Whistleblower Karen Ortiz comes in.
Karen is the underdog. The dark horse. And yes — the Karen this city needs: fearless, relentless, and ready to hold people accountable. She’s running to fight for all New Yorkers — the young and the old, the healthy and the sick, the working class and the wealthy. No one gets left behind.
Karen is unafraid to stand up for justice at home and abroad. She will speak out for the people of Gaza, fight to keep U.S. taxpayer dollars focused on supporting communities here at home, and work to restore and protect DEI initiatives. She is committed to defending the Constitution, upholding the rule of law, and leading with empathy and integrity.
What Karen Is Running On
Karen’s platform is bold, people-centered, and rooted in accountability and justice. She is fighting for:
The impeachment of Donald Trump and his cabinet
Stronger housing rights and protections for tenants
An end to forever wars
Medicare for all
The restoration and expansion of Civil Rights protections
Climate Justice for frontline and future generations
Running as an Independent isn’t the easy path — but it’s the honest one. Karen doesn’t answer to a party. She answers to you. Her loyalty is to the people of New York City, not political insiders.
This is our moment. This is our city. This is our fight.
We can’t wait to see you there!
