Rodney will fight to make NYC a more equitable place to live – where all families enjoy quality public schools to send their children with quality education delivered in every classroom, access to good paying jobs and where elected officials are more accountable to everyday people than wealthy donors.

2. What other important issues would you address if elected?

He’ll fight to ensure senior services keep pace with the needs of our elders, affordable housing, a fair share of City services and improvements, and equitable treatment for all, including the LBGT community.

3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?

At NYC’s Special Services for Children and HRA, Rodney worked to help families in crisis receive the services they needed and spoke out against injustices and policies that hurt children and families. He was elected union Delegate and executive board member at Social Service Employees Union Local 371 and served as a staff organizer. He earned a reputation as an effective problem solver, and tough negotiator.

His dedication to worker’s rights, led him to fight for social and economic justice.
