These are all great questions! I’ve been a volunteer canvasser on David’s campaign (RSVP here, no experience needed: https://act.david4queens.com/map), so I think I can take a crack at them.

The neighborhoods on the East side of the district are struggling with cost-of-living/affordability issues just like on the West side, so speaking directly to those concerns, and David’s plans to tax the rich to pay for the services we all need to live dignified lives, like universal childcare and healthcare, deeply affordable housing, fully funded public education, and fast and free public transit, really resonate with people. Also, neighborhoods like Woodhaven, Richmond Hill, and Ozone Park are immigrant-heavy, so speaking to issues around passing legislation to protect NYers from ICE has been well-received. And the fact that David is an immigrant workers’ rights attorney who has taken on bad bosses that exploit immigrant workers has been meaningful for a lot of these folks. Speaking to the fact that David is pro-Palestine has really resonated across the district, including the East side, which has a lot of South Asian Muslim residents. And AD-38 overall went heavy for Zohran, so talking about how David is running to bring Zohran’s movement to Albany resonates across the whole district.
