Hardworking families are the backbone of our community, contributing to the vibrancy and well-being of our neighborhoods. Yet, many face mounting financial pressures that make it harder to thrive. Our campaign is committed to easing that burden by offering real solutions that provide meaningful relief for workers and their families.

1. Tackling Rising Utility Costs. Families across the West Bronx are feeling the pinch from skyrocketing utility bills, especially water and energy costs. Bryan is committed to capping these rising costs and advocating for more affordable utility rates. By holding the city accountable for rising water bills and pushing for reforms to reduce energy and internet prices, Bryan will work to make sure that no family is forced to choose between paying their rent and keeping the lights on.

2. Expanding Tax Credits for Working Families. Our hardworking families deserve to keep more of the income they earn. By expanding access to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), we can directly increase the take-home pay of low-income workers. Bryan’s plan will push for reforms to make this vital program more accessible to those in need. Streamlining the qualification process and expanding eligibility will allow more families to benefit, helping them cover essential costs like rent, groceries, and utilities, which in turn strengthens our entire community.

3. Supporting App-Based Delivery Drivers. Our app-based delivery drivers and essential workers are vital to keeping our city running, yet they are often subjected to unsafe and unfair working conditions. Bryan will advocate for better protections, including ensuring that delivery drivers have expanded access to bathrooms and eliminating "lock-outs" that prevent drivers from accessing the platforms they depend on for income. These workers deserve respect, dignity, and a safe work environment, and Bryan will fight to make that a reality.
