 For Congress NY-12 | Manhattan

Max Zappone rides the same subway, walks the same streets, and feels the same frustrations you do—because he lives here, right in NY-12. His children were born at NewYork-Presbyterian. His daughter attends school on the Upper East Side.

This isn't just a district he wants to represent—it's the neighborhood where he's raising his family. NY-12 deserves a Representative who actually shows up, not career politicians who stopped showing up years ago.

LEADERSHIP THAT SHOWS UP

For too long, NY-12 has been treated like a safe seat instead of a community that deserves real representation. Career politicians coast while rents skyrocket, subways feel unsafe, and working families get squeezed from every direction. Now it's an open seat—and the same political machine wants to hand it to a socialist who'd make things worse. That's not leadership—it's neglect.

Max Zappone knows what it's like to fight for his family in this city. When his son Giovanni needed speech therapy services, Max spent two years battling a broken bureaucracy—jumping through hoops, getting approved, and then watching the system fail to deliver. His family could afford to go private. Most families can't. That's not a policy problem to Max—it's personal.

Max grew up in New York, went to Fordham Prep and Fordham University, and built a career in development and building management. He has spent years as a community advocate because he got tired of watching leadership disappear between elections.

Here's what Max is fighting for:

  • Safe streets and subways—because New Yorkers shouldn't have to think twice about getting home
  • Real affordability—lower taxes on homes, relief on utilities, and a government that stops nickel-and-diming working families
  • Accountability—making sure city and federal programs actually serve the people who need them, not the bureaucrats who run them
  • Real Immigration Reform — fighting for a path forward for immigrants who've put down roots, worked hard, and played by the rules.
  • Standing Against Radical Socialism — pushing back against Zohran Mamdani's socialist agenda that would make New York even less affordable and less safe.
  • Standing With the Jewish Community — fighting antisemitism and protecting religious freedom for all New Yorkers.

Undetered. Unafraid. Ready.

"I'm not here to play it safe or collect a title. I'm here to shake up a district that's been ignored by someone who forgot he works for you."
Massimiliano "Max" Zappone

A SAFER NEW YORK CITY

New Yorkers shouldn't have to calculate risk every time they step onto a subway platform. Max will fight for safer streets and transit—because feeling safe in your own neighborhood isn't a luxury, it's a baseline.

A MORE AFFORDABLE MANHATTAN

Rent, utilities, groceries, childcare—everything costs more and nothing gets easier. Max is fighting to cut taxes on homeowners and co-op owners, bring down utility costs, and put working families first for a change.

ACCOUNTABILITY FOR NEW YORKERS

When Max's son Giovanni needed city services—right here in Manhattan, where both his kids were born and attend school—the system approved him, then failed to deliver That's what happens when no one's watching. Max will demand real oversight on city and federal programs so the money goes to the people who need it, not the bureaucracy that wastes it.

REAL IMMIGRATION REFORM

Max is an immigrant who came to America as a child and built his life here. He'll fight for real reform—a path forward for people who've put down roots, worked hard, and played by the rules. Not open borders. Not mass deportation. Common sense.

NY-12 SPEAKS UP

Real people. Real frustrations. And a real belief that NY-12 deserves better.
"I've watched Max fight for his own kid when the system failed him. That told me everything I need to know—he's not going to quit when it gets hard."

"I've run a business on the East Side for fifteen years. Max actually walked in, asked what's killing us, and listened. I can't remember the last time anyone running for office did that."

Upper East Side
"We've had the same representation for decades and what do we have to show for it? Max isn't a politician—he's a neighbor who's fed up like the rest of us. That's exactly what we need."
