NY State Assembly · District 66
Researching your options in AD66?
It's a crowded field for an open seat — and worth getting right. Here's what sets Furhan apart, so you can decide for yourself before June 23, 2026.
What makes Furhan different
Two decades on the front lines — EMT, NYPD, FDNY
Most candidates for this seat come from law or politics. Furhan comes from emergency response. For over twenty years he answered 911 calls as an EMT, served as an NYPD officer, and fought fires with the FDNY — showing up for New Yorkers on their worst days.
That's not a talking point; it's a record. He has seen first-hand where housing, healthcare, and public safety fail people, and he's running to fix the systems he spent his career working inside.
What he'll deliver for the neighborhood
Healthcare
Everyone in District 66 deserves access to the care they need, not just in emergencies, but every day.
Human Dignity and Quality of Life
Safety is about more than enforcement. It is about dignity, stability, and trust.
Housing
Housing is the foundation everything else is built on.
Why now
District 66 is an open seat for the first time in a generation. It's a rare moment to choose someone who answers to the neighborhood instead of a machine — a fresh, service-first voice for downtown Manhattan in Albany.
