[EAST ELMHURST, NY | Monday, February 2, 2026] — Jessica González-Rojas received the key endorsement of former Assembly Member Jeffrion Aubry, a respected public servant and longtime champion for Queens communities, adding powerful momentum to a growing grassroots coalition demanding bold, community-first leadership in Albany.
Aubry’s endorsement reflects a shared commitment to affordability, equity, and delivering real results for working families in Corona, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and across State Senate District 13.
“Jessica González-Rojas represents the kind of leadership our communities need right now,” said former Assembly Member Jeffrion Aubry. “I’ve worked closely with JGR and I know she will deliver for our communities. She listens, she leads with integrity, and she understands that real progress comes from working alongside the people most impacted. I’m proud to endorse her because she has the courage to challenge the status quo and the ability to deliver real change.”
“I am deeply honored to earn Jeffrion Aubry’s endorsement,” said Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas, Democrat for State Senate. “Jeffrion’s leadership has always been rooted in community, justice, and compassion. From his work repealing the Rockefeller Drug Laws to his unwavering support for organizations like Elmcor, he has shown what it means to govern with courage and heart. I’m grateful for his trust and partnership as we continue the work of building a New York that truly works for working families.”
Aubry’s support carries particular weight as a former Assembly Member and Speaker Pro Tempore who knows firsthand how Albany works and too often, how it fails to meet the urgency of people’s lives when politicians are divisive, and unwilling to collaborate. Having served our communities inside the State Capitol, he understands the difference between symbolic gestures and real, delivered change. His endorsement reflects a shared recognition that the status quo has left working families waiting too long for solutions on health care access, affordability, child care, housing, and justice.
During his tenure in the Assembly, Aubry built a legacy grounded in service by expanding opportunity, strengthening public education, and standing up for working people and marginalized communities. His leadership helped lay the groundwork for a more just and inclusive vision of governance in Queens, one that continues to inspire the next generation of leaders.
The endorsement highlights a clear choice facing voters: continue with politics that manage crises and delay solutions, or move forward with leadership that meets this moment with urgency and purpose. As families face rising costs and deep inequities, González-Rojas is offering a people-first vision grounded in coalition-building and action.
Together, González-Rojas and Aubry represent a shared belief that government can, and must, be a force for good when it is guided by community, collaboration, and courage.
