Meet Eli
Eli is a public defender, policy advocate and community leader who has spent his career fighting for justice and standing up for people. For over a decade, he has represented individuals in court who can’t afford to pay an attorney, and as Policy Director for The Bronx Defenders, Eli has successfully led statewide campaigns to make New York more fair and compassionate.
The Upper West Side has always stood as a bulwark of progressive values and conscience. It is a community that shows up, speaks up, and leads with integrity and compassion. With the threats facing our city and state, we deserve a representative who will continue to honor that tradition. Eli is uniquely prepared for what this moment requires.
Our Platform
Eli Northrup is running to defend our community’s progressive values, take on the urgent threats facing our state and country, and fight for working families. Over the past seven legislative sessions, Eli has used his training as an attorney to lead broad coalitions to pass and defend transformational legislation at the State level. As an Assemblymember, he will be ready on day one.
Fighting for the West Side
Eli will protect the staples of our neighborhood that make it so special. Whether it is advancing policies that support our local businesses or pushing for more workers in our incredible parks, Eli is committed to championing the diverse and unique qualities of the Upper West Side.
Defending New York From Trump
As a public defender, Eli has spent his life and career standing up to bullies. He has defended New Yorkers in court, fighting for others when the odds were stacked against him. As your Assemblymember, he will use his experience and expertise to fight back.
ADVANCING THE AFFORDABILITY AGENDA
The people who keep this city running—our teachers, social workers, nurses—must be able to afford to live in it. Eli will fight to make the promise of universal childcare and healthcare a reality, to build more affordable housing, and to cap rent increases for all tenants.
