Growing up across Rensselaer, Albany, Washington, and Columbia Counties - where her family has called home for generations - shaped Chloe’s understanding of the real challenges families face,from rising costs to access to healthcare and healthy foods. Those deep local roots fuel her commitment to showing up, listening, and fighting for every corner of the district.

Economy

There is a need for clean energy which can be enacted with solar expansion on parking lots and flat roofs. This will help communities be energy independent. Our farmlands need to be protected in this climate crisis, ensuring local agriculture can continue to thrive. I believe equitable access to green spaces is important to all residents, and my work with Trust for Public Lands has begun that effort.

Chloe has helped advance major efforts including Healthy School Meals for All, the New York Health Act, and Medical Aid in Dying. She has also led work to strengthen land preservation and support New York agriculture by incentivizing the production and use of New York–grown food products. Her work brings together communities, experts, and decision-makers to protect open space, support family farms, and grow local economies.

Energy & the Environment

1) Affordability across utilities, housing, healthcare, education, and food insecurity. Costs continue to rise as wages stay stagnant. Families should not have to choose between feeding their families and leaving the lights on. Our state has an obligation to help our families. 2) Access to healthcare and healthcare workers. Residents should not have to drive hours and sometimes to another state to receive care. I will expand healthcare coverage while supporting the nurses who care for our communities.

Healthcare

The redistricting process has been corrupted. The Supreme Court decision represents a reaction based in fear of what could be. There needs to be a larger solution on a national level on how to redistrict states, and specific timing and processes enacted to ensure equity and equality for all eligible voters.

Public Safety

I worked to secure universal school meals, but the work is not done. I will work to continue to expand the program. Children do not stop being hungry just because school is not in session. I recognize the need to keep our communities safe, and keep violent criminals off our streets. We need to support our diverse communities and ensure everyone has equal opportunity to succeed.

2024 New York Voter Guide: What’s on your ballot

Chloe Pierce has worked as a nonprofit lobbyist and in government affairs, representing nonprofit and labor organization clients. She began her advocacy career at AARP.

Quality of life has been a hot-button topic in New York, with housing prices, inflation, outmigration and crime among the top concerns of many voters. What would you do to help make New York more livable?
We need to stop utility rate hikes, support our farmers to increase local food production, and incentivize construction of new affordable housing so young people can afford to stay here and raise their own families.  We also need real border security and increased federal funds to address the migrant crisis, and funds for our first responders to keep crime rates going down.

What is one of the top challenges facing your district and what do you propose for addressing it?
Right now, people are struggling financially, and we need more jobs, higher wages, and lower costs to address this. I would oppose all utility rate hikes, invest in clean energy production to bring costs down, create more workforce and next generation housing, and work to increase school funding to bring our local property taxes down.

Chloe Pierce is a lifelong Capital Region resident and proven advocate who knows we deserve more from our state government. Chloe knows what it means to live paycheck to paycheck, and she’s tired of do-nothing politicians who live in luxury while regular families struggle. She’s running to un-rig state government:

Stop utilities costs from increasing

As New York reexamines the mandates of the 2019 Climate Act, what is one specific action you feel the state should prioritize?
Build baby build!  As recent storms have demonstrated, we are reaching a crisis point in climate change and need action now to lower greenhouse gas emissions to protect our homes, farms, and future.  I would fight for a major expansion of New York’s non-fossil fuel energy generation, putting solar panels on flat roofs and parking lots, and expanding wind generation as much as feasible.
 I believe New York can become a national leader on this issue and build this industry in ways that will create jobs, restore our manufacturing sector and lower our energy costs.

Pierce will likely face political newcomer Christopher Lansing in June’s Democratic Primary, set for June 23rd. Lansing’s background includes campaign work on the federal, state, and local levels. Lansing, who says he has stepped back from many of his obligations to make this his full-time work, is also a tee ball coach. Lansing says having an open mind and heart is his “bread and butter.”
