Rosenthal's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Affordable Housing and Tenant Protection

Linda has made tenant protection and the preservation of affordable housing a cornerstone of her tenure in office.

Gender Equality and Women’s Rights

In addition to passing the law to make tampons, sanitary napkins and similar feminine hygiene products tax free this year, Linda has been a passionate advocate for gender equality.

She helped to make paid family leave a reality in New York, and is the sponsor of a number of pieces of legislation that would help close the gender wage gap.

She is working to remove the taboo from menstruation, and to make tampons safer for women’s bodies.

Public Education

Linda was instrumental in eradicating toxic PCBs from New York City public school buildings.

She has spent her career advocating for robust investment in New York City public schools.

She was influential in creating a new middle school on the Upper West Side and believes that every student has the right to receive an exceptional education in their community school.

Health Care

Linda has been working to protect children and the public against the dangers associated with electronic cigarettes by passing laws to ban the sale of e-cigarettes and liquid nicotine to minors, and requiring liquid nicotine be sold in child-resistant packaging.

Animal Welfare

Linda has passed more than a dozen laws to protect animals because she understands that it is our responsibility to give the voiceless a voice.

She passed the law to crack down on puppy mills in New York State, to extend order of protections to include companion animals, to allow therapy animals to accompany survivors to domestic violence shelters, and most recently, to require research animals be offered for adoption instead of being euthanized.[19]
