1. What is the most important issue in Council District 41 you would address if elected?

My platform is Protecting the Rights of the Community. The most important issue in the council district I would address would be the enforcement and monitoring of laws protecting constituent’s basic human rights. Everyday residents are violated and the community lacks the necessary resources to address these violations. Children are forced to eat off floors and sit in crowded classes rooms denied an adequate education, young men are harassed daily by those who are to protect and serve,and women still earn less than their male counterparts. Addressing the protection of our basic human rights empowers the community leading to the skills needed to negotiate more funding for our schools, homes, community centers, economic empowerment zones, etc. Protecting ones human rights should be a priority for all.

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

I would address the concerns put forth by community residents. One important issue involves the HOPE IV project. We deserve to know the status of this project, putting pressure on development while securing roles for our local community residents within the project.

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

A City Council member is one of 51 members. Your city council member is as strong as the community they represent. The 41st Council District is in desperate need for adequate representation. The community is in desperate need for a different name with fresh ideas. The community is in desperate need of a strong leader who can relate to the struggles and concerns of today. I am the best candidate for this office because I am a Strong Voice for All the People. Utilizing my experience as a former District Leader within the 55th Assembly District, my experience working for a New York City Council member as well as my legal experience fighting to protect Civil Rights, I have the necessary tools needed for the position. I am a born leader with experience, compassion and determination.
