NY State Assembly · District 66 · Open Seat
Who should represent AD66?
District 66 — Greenwich Village, the West Village, SoHo, NoHo, Tribeca, and the Meatpacking District — is choosing a new representative for the first time in decades. If you are weighing your options, here is the case for Furhan.
Why Furhan
A first responder, not a political insider
Furhan has spent over twenty years inside the systems people rely on — as an EMT, an NYPD officer, and an FDNY firefighter. In a field of lawyers and political operatives, that frontline experience is the difference: he has seen exactly where housing, healthcare, and public safety break down, because he was the one showing up when they did.
This is an open seat — a rare chance to send someone to Albany who answers to the neighborhood, not a machine. Furhan is running as that person.
What Furhan will fight for
01
Healthcare
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.
02
Human Dignity and Quality of Life
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.
03
Housing
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.
