I have worked for many years to improve our city and our neighborhoods on issues we all care about. I have been a leader in the fight to save Queens public libraries from city budget cuts. I was the Deputy Field Director for “Clean Money, Clean Elections”, which led to New York City’s strict campaign finance rules including a ban on corporate contributions. I am a fighter for increased funding for funding public school construction. I am also an advocate for more park space in the district. I will be a new voice for the new City Council representing Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Woodside, Lefrak City, Rego Park, Corona, and East Elmhurst. I am a candidate with energy, leadership, and a commitment to community service.
