She is joined by Assembly District 69 candidate Stephanie Ruskay, a rabbi and longtime Upper West Side community leader, to discuss housing policy, bail reform, taxes, business regulation, antisemitism, and New York’s relationship with Israel. Ruskay shares her personal story—growing up in Manhattan, returning to raise her family, and building interfaith and civic partnerships—while outlining why she believes this race represents a broader battle over the direction of the Democratic Party and the future of governance in New York. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/nothing-but-the-truth-7099291/episodes/stephanie-ruskay/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/nothing-but-the-truth-7099291/stephanie-ruskay.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
