My success and accomplishments were made possible by taking advantage of opportunities that this great country and city offer. I want to fight to make it possible for every person in the district to have every opportunity to get a better education, a higher paying job and share in the American dream of prosperity. I want children to get a good education and have the curriculum, computer training and other tools to prepare them for any educational opportunity, profession or challenge that may lie ahead.

I take pride in serving the people of the community. I consider it my duty to give back some of what I have been blessed with. I can continue to serve best, as a Councilmember. Then, I can get the resources, influence and contacts to bring changes to make the district a better place to live and raise a family. I don’t say take from Peter to give to Paul. I mean, return more of the taxes we pay, to vitalize our district like some other districts.

Since becoming State Committeeman in 1992, I have dedicated myself to helping people who had problems with Education, Housing, Immigration, Childcare, Healthcare, Schools and much more. I worked closely with Community Boards, Elected officials, Agencies and individuals who give tremendous support and inspiration. My dismay is that the district has been neglected by those elected to do the job. Don’t make the same mistake again.

Put me in the City Council and I will be the servant of the people. My office will be open to listen to you and be partners with you for a better 45th Council District. Vote for me on September 11.
