NEW YORK, NY — Alina Bonsell, candidate for New York State Senate District 28, announced today that she will be running on an additional, independent ballot line named “Jewish Safety” alongside her Republican candidacy in the November 3, 2026, general election.

The announcement comes as independent petitioning will start April 14 through May 23, 2026, during which Bonsell’s campaign must collect 5,000 total signatures to ensure at least 3,000 qualified signatures from registered voters across the district.

New York State Senate District 28 spans Manhattan’s East Side, including East 14th Street through East 96th Street, Central Park South, and Roosevelt Island.

“The Jewish Safety line is about bringing people together across party lines around something fundamental: safety, identity, and shared values,” said Bonsell. “This is about building a coalition that reflects the reality of our community, not forcing people into political boxes.”

Bonsell previously ran for New York City Council in 2025, where she built a broad base of support across the district and demonstrated strong crossover appeal among Republicans, Independents, and Democrats alike.

The creation of the “Jewish Safety” line reflects that same coalition-building strategy, aimed at engaging voters who may not align with a single party but want leadership that prioritizes safety, stability, and common-sense solutions.

For Bonsell, the issue is deeply personal. “My family came to this country from the former Soviet Union because of antisemitism,” she said. “Jewish safety is not abstract to me, instead it’s part of my family’s history and part of why I’m running. No one in this city should feel unsafe because of who they are.”

“To move New York forward, we need leadership that is practical, not ideological,” Bonsell said. “People want safer streets, lower costs, and a government that actually works. That’s what I’m running to deliver for my neighbors.”

With a compressed petitioning timeline, the campaign is mobilizing aggressively to meet ballot requirements and is seeking to raise $20,000 to fund staffing and operations necessary to collect signatures across the district.

“This is a grassroots effort with a clear goal,” Bonsell added. “If we want real representation, it takes real participation. I’m asking people across our community to step in, sign, volunteer, and help us get this done.”

WE WIN TOGETHER

Alina is running on the Republican line this election, but her prospects for victory increases if voters can choose her on an Independent, “Jewish Safety” line, with all votes on both lines counting toward her total. This is about protecting the safety of all Jews in New York City and creating legislation that punishes those who commit religious crimes.

 

To make that possible, we need to hire staff and collect 5,000 registered voter signatures, so that at least 3,000 will be valid. These signatures need to be from any D28 registered voters who have not already signed any other petition.

 

Your support will directly fund trained petition staff and help ensure we qualify for the “Jewish Safety” Independent line on this November’s ballot.

 

We need to raise funds to get this done between April 14th – May 26th so we legally qualify our Independent line.

Bonsell Media Sheet

Alina
Bonsell
candidate for ny
state senate
Alina Bonsell is a Yorkville
resident, mother, and small
business owner, not a career
politician. In 1989, her family
immigrated to the United States
as Jewish refugees from the
Soviet Union when she was a
small child. She has spent her
life building businesses and
fighting to stay afloat in a city
that is increasingly hostile to the
people who make it run.
With 20 years of experience in
pharmaceutical operations and
private sector leadership,
including roles in regulatory
affairs, executive management,
and complex systems oversight,
Alina brings a track record of
accountability and measurable
results. She will bring that same
discipline to Albany.

We Win Together

She is running because she is tired
of excuses. This campaign is
personal. Alina is fighting for a
safer, cleaner, and fairer New York
for families, small business owners,
and everyday residents who just
want stability. She is not running to
play the political game. She is
running to expose what is broken
and fix it

ALINA’S PRIORITIES

Improve Eastside Public Safety
End wasteful government spending
Tax relief for young adults & new parents
Protect Jewish Safety with Stronger Legislation
Family Court Reform

represented the district since 2002.

NARNIA FESTIVAL 2024

“Un’edizione andata alla grande con numeri da capogiro, spettacoli sold out, a partire dalla serata inaugurale dedicata alle ouverture più celebri di tutti i tempi, condotta da Massimo Giletti, nella quale il pubblico straripava al San Domenico Auditorium Bortolotti”.

Così Cristiana Pegoraro, ideatrice e direttore artistico del Narnia Festival ha commentato la XIII edizione del Narnia Festival, la più bella di sempre, come la ha definita, andata in scena a Narni, con anteprime anche a Terni e Amelia, tra la soddisfazione generale. Oltre 250 artisti sul palco nei 55 eventi, concerti e spettacoli che hanno spaziato dalla musica alla danza, dal teatro all’arte.

Tra gli eventi di punta in cartellone ci sono stati ‘Le più belle frasi di Osho’ spettacolo tra satira e divertenti intermezzi musicali di e con Federico Palmaroli; ‘Sinfonia flamenca’ in cui la danza flamenca è stata eseguita oltre che su musica tradizionale, sulle note della musica classica con la partecipazione del grande maestro José Ruiz; l’adattamento di ‘Il Vecchio e il mare’ di Ernest Hemingway con la magistrale interpretazione di Sebastiano Somma; il concerto di Povia, cantautore impegnato in temi sociali, vincitore del festival di Sanremo; e poi il concerto finale ‘Il Valzer’ con l’Orchestra del Narnia Festival, diretta dal maestro Lorenzo Porzio, direttore musicale del Narnia Festival, che ha eseguito un repertorio dedicato ai valzer più famosi, includendo inediti di Beethoven in prima assoluta.

PUZZLING SKIN CONDITION AFFECTS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
THE HIDDEN REALITY OF LIVING WITH A CHRONIC SKIN DISEASE

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an under-recognized and chronic inflammatory skin condition caused by an overactive immune system that can often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years. The symptoms of HS include recurrent, painful abscesses and lesions and can have a significant physical, mental and social impact. HS can be progressive and increase in severity over time.

HS also presents itself in sensitive areas like the armpits, groin and under the breasts and buttocks, so it may be hidden by clothing – leaving many to suffer in silence. Further, the lack of awareness around this disease may lead to patients going undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for seven or more years. Patients may visit a number of doctors before finding a dermatologist with experience in managing HS to confirm diagnosis and determine a plan that best fits their specific needs.

Dr. Joslyn Kirby, a dermatologist with Penn State University, will bring greater understanding about HS by sharing how it’s more than just an inflammatory skin disease. Dr. Kirby will also discuss the importance for HS patients – along with their caregivers – to advocate for their care and seek out a dermatologist with experience treating HS who can help patients to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
