Meet Hiram Monserrate

For too long, Queens has been asked to accept stagnation and neglect.

Critical issues have gone unaddressed and ignored. Public safety avoided. Schools allowed to fail quietly. Healthcare stretched beyond its limits and left that way. Tough decisions were dodged, the hard work was postponed, and the cost was paid by hardworking families and retirees.

Hiram Monserrate refuses to accept that.

A lifelong Queens resident, devoted son to his elderly parents, husband, and father to a young child, Hiram has spent years showing up when others did not. Long before this campaign, he was organizing, speaking out, and doing the work, even when it was uncomfortable and even when it came at personal cost. He did not wait for permission to lead. He stepped into a void.

Hiram has never claimed to be perfect. He has been open about his life, his steps forward and his missteps, and the lessons that shaped him. He believes growth comes from honesty, accountability, and faith. He is grateful every day for his wife, his son, and the family who stand beside him and ground him in this work.

Leadership, to Hiram, is not about image. It is about consistency. It is about being accessible, listening, and acting when things are broken. Day after day, he has proven that commitment in his community.

This campaign is not about slogans.
It is about responsibility.
It is about rejecting stagnation and neglect.
It is about choosing action together.

That is what A Call To Action means.

Issues and Priorities

Public Safety
Safe streets are not optional. When leadership avoids hard decisions, communities pay the price. Public safety requires presence, accountability, and action. Not excuses.

Education
Accepting failing schools as “good enough” is unacceptable. Our children deserve real opportunity, high standards, and leadership willing to confront underperformance head-on.

Healthcare Access
Queens was ground zero during COVID, yet hospital capacity never meaningfully improved. Families should not have to leave their borough to get care when it matters most.

Affordability
Working families are being pushed out of the communities they built. Housing, cost of living, and basic stability must be treated as priorities, not afterthoughts.

“For too long, we’ve been told to accept what isn’t working. I couldn’t do that. I’ve shown up, I’ve spoken out, and I’ve done the work because this community deserves better. This campaign isn’t about me. It’s about all of us deciding that stagnation is unacceptable and that the time to act is now. That’s what A Call To Action means.”
