BACKGROUND

Biographical information for Collins was not immediately available. 

ISSUES

  • Collins said his top issues are “supporting small business, pro-union, fighting [for] fair wages, fighting for strong health care, supporting minority growth in the workforce.”
  • He frames his campaign as a battle against the “progressive Democratic Party,” who Collins believes “threw their political blanket” over the Working Families Party and distorted WFP’s “original true values” in recent elections.
  • Collins said “the importance of winning this primary is to show the local Democratic bosses that we will not be disenfranchised by allowing them to hijack our line in any given election.”
