City Council member Julie Won and the challenger trying to unseat her both said they are looking out for people struggling to pay rent.

“We’re 80% renters. We’re all tenants, the majority of us. And it’s also 60% foreign born, like me, immigrants,” Won said of census information.

“One of the things that I did in my capacity as a tenant organizer was fighting for ‘good cause’ evictions, making sure that people were not being unfairly evicted out of their homes,” said Hailie Kim, the other Democrat on the ballot.

Won is running for reelection in Queens’ Council District 26, which includes Long Island City, Sunnyside and Queensbridge.

Won, Kim and 13 other Democrats had run for the seat in 2021. Kim finished in eighth place.

She said her decision to run again was solidified after “our current incumbent actually voted ‘yes’ on a budget that cut really crucial services to our city.”

Won had said in an op-ed column that the city budget isn’t “neatly confined” by votes on each issue but one vote for the entire budget. She said she didn’t want funding stripped from the district.

In her first term, Won led a fraught, high-profile negotiation with developers of the $2 billion Innovation QNS mixed-use complex, set to bring 3,200 apartments to Astoria.

She said she came away with several wins for her most vulnerable constituents, including “getting a commitment from them to make sure that we have CityFHEPS vouchers so that formerly homeless people are able to live in these new luxury towers.”

Won and Kim spoke to NY1 as they began their final month of campaigning ahead of the June 27 primary.

Won, who had worked in the tech industry, also highlighted a resource she secured for working-class residents that more affluent New Yorkers may take for granted.

“I’m proud to say that every single NYCHA resident in Ravenswood Houses, Woodside Houses and Queensbridge Houses has free cable TV, unlimited call and text as well as free high-speed internet,” she said.

Kim, who formerly worked for MinKwon Center, touted plans to create and maintain housing.

She wants to legalize basement apartments and added, “What we do need to do is expand the number of rent-stabilized units in our city. We need to hold the Rent Guidelines Board accountable.”

She was critical of how Won, initially opposed to Innovation QNS, handled the negotiations.

“One of the things that I feel like the council member did not do is ask the developers how they’re going to pay for these affordable units that they’re supposedly going to build,” Kim said.
