As a member of the New York City Council, I will fight for an expansion of economic development opportunities in the 45th City Council District, and enhance community services for our children and families. As a single parent and grandmother I understand the needs of our children and will work hard to obtain the resources to improve our schools and libraries, and also expand the availability of affordable health care for our families, especially our children and seniors. I will address the quality-of-life issues in our community. I will work with homeowners to address their concerns and draw on my years of experience as a tenant-advocate and former resident of the New Vanderveer Estates Housing Complex to ensure that poor and working-families are treated with dignity and respect in pursuing their housing and other needs. I will continue to advocate on behalf of immigrants. I will put the needs of the 45th District first at City Hall.
