From Breitbart:

A congressional candidate backed by Muslim socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called for taxpayer-funded sex changes and a “Trans Bill of Rights.”

New York state Assemblymember Claire Valdez, a far-left Democrat who is campaigning to fill an open House seat in New York’s 7th congressional district, made the comments during an interview released on Friday with a Twitch streamer, who was once reportedly suspended from the platform for calling Jews a “demonic ethnicity.”

“We have to be focused, really enshrining their rights within universal programs and making sure that Medicare for All includes gender-affirming care and health care for trans folks,” said Valdez, who is a member of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Valdez’s comments come as gender ideology and taxpayer-funded transgender procedures remain major flashpoints in national politics. While progressive lawmakers continue pushing for expanded federal protections and publicly funded treatments, many Americans — including parents, faith leaders, and medical whistleblowers — have raised growing concerns about the long-term consequences of these policies, especially for children and young adults.

The controversy also highlights the growing influence of democratic socialism within parts of the Democratic Party. Valdez is backed not only by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, but also by Senator Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter. Critics argue these positions represent a sharp departure from traditional American values and biological reality.

As cultural battles over gender, family, and religious liberty continue intensifying across the nation, these deeply spiritual that require prayer, wisdom, and boldness from Christians willing to stand for biblical truth. Let’s pray for all candidates on both sides of the aisle to recognize the truth about transgenderism.
