Ana María Archila and Jasmine Gripper, familiar faces in progressive politics, will take reins of third party.
On Oct. 16 Ana María Archila and Jasmine Gripper were named as the new co-chairs of the New York Working Families Party, the small but influential progressive party. | Rynn Reed/Provided by the New York Working Families PartyNEW YORK — The progressive third party that lent its cavalry to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s election win last year is vowing a “robust ground game” to help New York Democrats flip House seats next year.
“We both know the importance of community organizing; we both know the importance of grassroots leadership development,” Gripper said in an interview. “But we also know the importance of political strategy and movement moments.” The party will bolster its position as a counterweight to moderate Democrats like Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams as well as Republicans in Washington, the incoming leaders said.
While the Working Families Party’s broad goals are clear enough — increasing housing affordability, advocating for universal childcare, supporting newly arrived migrants and combating climate change — how to achieve them will be a partywide conversation, Archila and Gripper said.“One of the things that’s beautiful about the party is that we have a very robust internal democracy to make every decision,” Archila said.
Mitchell said Archila and Gripper are taking the reins at a time of need for “moral clarity,” the state party marking a new era as its marks the 25th anniversary of its founding.The former governor sought to siphon labor union support away from the WFP, but, Mitchell said, “labor is in the DNA of the party, and labor continues to be part of the party.”
