Candidate Statement
As a foreclosure prevention counselor, my job is to help families on the brink of homelessness stay in the homes they worked their whole lives to earn.
Every day, I come face to face with the human consequences of decades of pro-corporate and pro-landlord politics in Albany.
Every day, I'm reminded that all this suffering isn't inevitable - it's a choice that our representatives make to put the interests of their campaign donors over the well-being over their constituents.
I'm running to give Astoria a different choice. I'm not taking a dime of corporate money so that I can fight for policies that bought-and-paid-for politicians never can: housing as a human right for all, publicly owned utilities, and an end to mass incarceration.
