    Interview with Jeff Coltin

    Jeff Coltin returns to City & State New York — this time as Editor-in-Chief. In this episode of The Perez Notes, Roberto Perez sits down with Jeff Coltin to discuss his full-circle journey from intern in 2014 to leading one of New York’s most influential political publications. Coltin rose through the ranks at City & State, serving as City Hall Bureau Chief before departing in 2023 to write POLITICO’s New York Playbook — where he became one of the most well-sourced and closely read political reporters in the state. Along the way, he authored award-winning magazine cover stories, including a profile of Ingrid Lewis-Martin that became required reading across New York political circles, and helmed the widely respected Campaign Confidential newsletter during the pivotal 2021 city elections. Now back at the helm, Coltin breaks down: • What to expect from his coverage of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani • How City & State will approach the 2026 midterms • The evolution of New York political media • The inside dynamics of the 2025 mayoral race • Why City & State remains “first read” for New York politics With deep relationships across City Hall, Albany, and beyond, Coltin is uniquely positioned to shape the narrative at a defining moment in New York politics. 🎙️ A must-listen for anyone serious about NYC & NYS power, policy, and the press. #NYCPolitics #JeffColtin #CityAndState #ZohranMamdani #Albany #CityHall #PoliticalMedia #ThePerezNotes

Levine, joins The Perez Notes for a deep dive into the future of consumer rights and worker protection in America’s largest city.

Now, he brings that federal firepower to New York City. We discuss: • What aggressive enforcement looks like at the city level • Cracking down on predatory business practices • Worker protections in the gig and AI economy • Data privacy and algorithmic accountability • Protecting small businesses and immigrant communities • How DCWP fits into the broader Mamdani-era political landscape A Harvard Law graduate and longtime consumer advocate, Levine has spent his career challenging illegal foreclosures, prosecuting predatory colleges, and shaping national consumer protection policy. Now he’s applying that experience to NYC. This is a conversation about power, enforcement, and who government works for. 🎙️ From The Perez Notes #NYCPolitics #ConsumerProtection #SamuelLevine #DCWP #FTC #WorkerRights #DataPrivacy #NYC #ThePerezNotes

    Interview with Julie Won

    In this episode of The Perez Notes, I sit down with Julie Won, New York City Council Member for District 26, as she makes the leap to Congress in a race to succeed Nydia Velázquez. Julie Won is a trailblazer in New York City politics—the first woman and first immigrant to represent District 26, and the first Korean-American Council Member in the city’s history. A mother of two young children and a caregiver to her aging parents, Julie brings a deeply personal understanding of the realities facing multigenerational families across our city—and she’s built her career fighting to make government work better for them. After immigrating from South Korea at age eight following the 1997 financial crisis, Julie’s family rebuilt their lives in New York. Her mother, once a culinary professor, worked as a nail technician; her father worked in local small businesses. A proud product of New York public schools and a graduate of Syracuse University’s Maxwell School, Julie later spent a decade at IBM advising the federal government on technology modernization. In 2021, she took on a crowded 15-candidate primary and won—running to confront the inequities COVID-19 laid bare. We talk about her journey, her record, and what’s driving her run for Congress—and what kind of representation she believes New York needs next. ⸻ #JulieWon #NYCPolitics #QueensPolitics #Congress2026 #ImmigrantStory #WomenInPolitics #ThePerezNotes #NYDemocrats #PublicService #MultigenerationalFamilies

    Interview with Jibreel Jalloh

    🎙️ Jibreel joins The Perez Notes for a wide-ranging conversation about community, leadership, and his run for State Assembly. The son of a union nurse and a taxi driver who immigrated to New York in pursuit of the American dream, Jibreel was born and raised in the community he now seeks to serve. Growing up, he watched families, faith institutions, and neighbors hold one another up—often stepping in when government didn’t show up. Those experiences shaped his belief that lasting change must come from the ground up and that public service should honor the people it serves. A community organizer, nonprofit CEO, and Obama Scholar, Jibreel has dedicated his life to improving the lives of those around him. He helped stop a toxic pesticide facility from being built near homes and schools, secured $1.6 million in funding to prevent gun violence, supported workers in winning a union, and built a small business—giving him firsthand experience with meeting payroll, creating opportunity, and navigating red tape. Now, Jibreel is running for State Assembly, bringing a grounded, community-first approach shaped by lived experience, coalition-building, and a deep commitment to public service.
