3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?
30 years of professional /volunteer work, I have established quality working relationships with the clergy, senior centers, tenants associations, NYPD, schools, youth programs, community and civic organizations. As an 1199 SEIU Organizer I've participated in the progressive charge against the inequalities in healthcare, social and economic issues. As the Volunteer Director of YEP, I've formulated solutions to youth issues. My relationships with city officials will and can allow me to hit the ground running. Finally, as a lifetime resident in the 12th district, I will advocate for the district and I commit to putting community first.
