At 22, Abdul has already made significant strides in public service and community advocacy, demonstrating a commitment to progressive values and working-class priorities. With eight years of involvement in his community through organizing and politics, he brings a wealth of experience and dedication to his campaign.
His commitment to addressing housing issues is deeply personal; his family faced foreclosure when he was eight, and only through the help of Yale Law School’s housing clinic did they manage to remain in their home. This experience drives his dedication to supporting housing policies that stabilize rents and expand just-cause eviction protections. He knows firsthand the impact of housing insecurity and will tirelessly fight to ensure others do not have to face the same struggles.
He is committed to advocating for workers and ensuring that they receive fair wages and safe working conditions. Over the years, Abdul has refined his skills through extensive experience in political campaigns and advocacy roles, engaging in legislative research and policy analysis. These experiences have equipped him to effectively advocate for working-class families and navigate the complexities of state governance.
What sets Abdul apart from his opponents is not only his lived experience but also his proven ability to get things done through community engagement and his unwavering courage to stand up for his values and those of his constituents.
This moment is critical for the 94th District, and Abdul is stepping up to continue the tradition of bold and outspoken leadership. Endorsed by progressive figures such as outgoing Representative Robyn Porter, his platform emphasizes safe schools, affordable housing, healthcare for all, and environmental justice. He seeks to continue the legacy of fearless Black leaders in Greater New Haven and bring a collaborative, bold vision to Hartford.
Abdul Osmanu embodies dedication, resilience, and progressive advocacy, making him a promising leader for the 94th District.
