Brooklyn, NY — Grassroots advocate and congressional candidate Nickie Kane formally launched her campaign this week with both a policy message and a burst of creative energy, releasing an official campaign song alongside her announcement. The song, titled “Big, Beautiful, Travesty (Tax the Billionaires),” debuted on YouTube as part of the candidate’s push to draw attention to affordability and economic justice issues in New York’s 10th Congressional District.

Kane’s campaign rollout comes as progressive energy continues to surge in New York City following the recent, historic victory of Zohran Mamdani in city politics. In a campaign press release, Kane cited Mamdani’s win as a reflection of voter demand for bold action on basic needs like housing, healthcare, and economic fairness. According to the release, the city’s electorate is “demanding affordability, dignity, and a government that treats basic needs as human rights,” and Kane said she is running to bring that same democratic socialist vision to Washington.

The campaign song is an upbeat, dance-pop and rap-infused anthem that highlights Kane’s core priorities, including calls to tax billionaires, address rising living costs, and elevate working-class voices. The music video’s release on YouTube marks a departure from traditional campaign announcements, reflecting a strategy that blends cultural expression with political messaging. (X (formerly Twitter))

In her press statement, Kane reiterated her central policy themes, asserting that “healthcare is a human right” and “housing is a human right,” and emphasizing the need for federal leadership that prioritizes affordable living and protects tenants, workers, and families. She also underscored a call for balanced, humane immigration policy reform as part of her campaign’s broader agenda. (Nickie Kane for Congress)

Kane’s grassroots campaign aims to tap into the same progressive momentum that energized voters in recent local contests, arguing that New York City’s recent electoral outcomes show clear support for bold, people-centered leadership. With a mix of policy advocacy and cultural outreach, her campaign is positioning itself as a voice for affordability and human rights in the upcoming congressional race.
