Candidate Statement
Born and raised in Sunset Park, I’m running to fix the problems that have worsened over the past two decades: economic injustice, lack of affordable housing, underfunded schools, corruption and crumbling infrastructure. As an urban planner, I’ve spent my career helping cities develop green housing, transportation, and economic opportunities. I will be the first representative in Albany with climate change planning experience. I previously taught in public schools and in higher education. I am a proud member of Community Board 7, and Chair of our Assembly District Committee. I will fight to protect our district from budget cuts, stand up to special interests, and work to make our neighborhoods safe and affordable for all.
