NY-06: NYPAN endorses Chuck Park (D) in Congressional District 6, challenging incumbent Meng

The New York Progressive Action Network (NYPAN) endorsed Chuck Park, a Queens native and former U.S. diplomat, in his campaign for New York’s 6th Congressional District against 50-year-old incumbent Grace Meng, who has served in office since 2013, in the Democratic primary.

Park, who was born in Flushing and raised by Korean immigrant street vendors, said the endorsement reflects a shared commitment to grassroots power and transformative change.

He said he plans to bring bold progressive leadership to Congress, advocating for universal healthcare, universal childcare and economic justice for working families.

“From ICE raids to healthcare cuts, our communities are being attacked and starved,” said Maria Ordoñez, political director of NYPAN. “We need leaders like Chuck Park in Congress who aren’t afraid to fight the broken system that’s keeping us down. New York Progressive Action Network is proud to support, organize, and build power with Chuck.”
