I've seen what happens when the system fails.
Now I'm running to fix it.
I'm Furhan. I served New Yorkers for over two decades as an EMT, police officer, and firefighter. I'm running for Assembly because real safety, housing stability, and care shouldn't arrive only after a crisis hits.

I’m not running as an insider or a machine candidate. I’m running as someone who has worked inside the systems people rely on and knows exactly where they break.
MY STORY
My Story
Furhan's Journey
Kal Penn, Jessel Taank, Anita Chatterjee, and more at Julius Bar for Furhan's fundraiser.
New York City raised me, and I’ve spent my life serving the people who call it home.
I was born and raised in Queens, the son of a taxi driver who came to this country seeking safety, dignity, and opportunity. At 17, I entered city service. For more than two decades, I served New Yorkers as an EMT, police officer, and firefighter, responding to emergencies, housing crises, and mental health calls.
Those experiences taught me that many of the challenges we face are not failures of individuals, but failures of systems that act too late.
I didn’t come from politics. I came from service. I’m running because District 66 deserves a representative who understands how policy shows up in real life and who will fight for practical solutions that keep neighborhoods safe, stable, and livable.
Service
Leadership means showing up every day and doing the work.
Community
Neighborhoods thrive when people feel safe, supported, and connected.
Representation
Listening comes first. Solutions come from real needs, not political noise.
Progress
Everyone in District 66 should be able to afford to live here and plan for the future.
A Platform Rooted in Care, Dignity, and Home
This campaign is centered on healthcare, humanity, and housing because public policy should make life safer, healthier, and more stable before crisis hits.
Healthcare
01Everyone in District 66 deserves access to the care they need, not just in emergencies, but every day.

Everyone in District 66 deserves access to the care they need, not just in emergencies, but every day.
That means affordable prescriptions, home care for seniors, gender-affirming care for every person who needs it, and healthcare infrastructure that holds up when the next storm hits.
Human Dignity and Quality of Life
02Safety is about more than enforcement. It is about dignity, stability, and trust.

Safety is about more than enforcement. It is about dignity, stability, and trust.
That means real mental health crisis response, protecting the small businesses and cultural spaces that define this neighborhood, updating laws that do more harm than good, and making sure our community is prepared, not just reactive, when climate events disrupt daily life.
Housing
03Housing is the foundation everything else is built on.

That means letting seniors age in place, giving young people safe shelter, making sure working families can stay in the community they helped build, and ensuring the buildings and neighborhoods we live in are ready for the climate realities already here.
