Candidate Statement
We need new progressive energy and vision to get us through this crisis and fight for a recovery based on dignity for all.
I’ve been a tireless neighborhood organizer in Greenpoint and Williamsburg for more than a decade. I’ve always been a renter, a cyclist and a commuter. And I’ve known too many months where I scrambled to make rent.
These experiences aren’t unique but they’re too rarely shared by our representatives in Albany. We need to fix the Assembly and fill it with advocates, organizers, fighters and leaders. We need to doggedly build something for the future.
