Candidate Statement

Do you want a candidate who takes money from Big Real Estate that wants to push you out of your home for a profit? Bushwick is rapidly gentrifying, and our incumbent Assembly member takes donations from real estate lobbyists who don't care about anything but profit. I want to establish a public bank and community land trusts in which to invest public funds and make New York City a place you don't have to be rich to live in.

I am committed to the Green Party platform and its ten pillars: grassroots democracy, social justice and equal opportunity, ecological wisdom, nonviolence, decentralization, community-based economics, feminism & gender equality, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility, future focus & sustainability.
