1. What is the most important issue in the city you would address if elected?

The Democratic party is in serious trouble and immediate need of reconstruction and unity among the body. Democrats are less supported from their colleagues whom hold political seats in Government in the City of New York Council. They continue to be pressured by public interest groups who want to take control of government laws that they have know authority over.

 

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

I would address issues such as the poor services provided by the New York City M.T.A and help commuters using public transportation and the high cost of Metrocards. Affordable housing for low income families. Safety in New York City Schools

 

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

What makes me the best candidate is the ability to have a heart to deal with all the people of New York City. I also have the vision that many New Yorkers are seeking in the City to help provide relief from problematic issues and concerns. I will be a active advocate for the poor people in the City of New York. I will continue to speak out on violence in communities and also education institution.
