I have lived through the struggles my neighbors are going to. My values are shaped by my experiences--not special interests--and I am ready to fight for you.

With the Trump Administration threatening our city and thousands of dollars from special interest groups being poured into the race to try to defeat us, our people-powered campaign isn’t giving up!

I reject money from corporate PACs and real estate developers--and that has real policy implications. My opponent, is being supported by Uber, charter schools, and real estate PACs, has voted for education cuts, and has allowed developments by some of the city's worst landlords

It’s Juneteenth Freedom Day, and I voted for myself on the ballot. It’s a wonderful sight to behold—and even more special to share the moment with my pal William Brown, who ran the shelter and food pantry with me at St. Mary’s Church. It’s beautiful all around.

All generations of voters are showing up early to vote for the issues we’re fighting for: healthcare access, affordable housing, and safer streets.

Last year, District 7 only built 7--yes, SEVEN--new units of affordable housing. We have the tools to build housing that is truly affordable, but we need leaders who will fight to make sure they are fully funded.

61% of older adults in New York are rent burdened--and half of those who are eligible for SCRIE have not applied for it. If elected, I will dedicate a staff member in my office to make sure all older adults know about SCRIE and apply for it as soon as they are eligible.
