My Four focuses if elected as your City Council Member for District 3
- I’m for affordable housing, with 20% of our gross income as rent, not 30%, because there is nothing affordable about $3,000 a month for a studio apartment in NYC.
- I am for expanding Obama Care, the Affordable Healthcare Act, and Medicaid for all.
- I am for rent vouchers for grocery stores to lower the cost of food.
- I am 1000 % against developers who want to tear down our neighborhoods and displace our community.
Additional issues I will be focusing on if elected as your City Council Member for District 3
- Crime is of the essence. Improving our quality of life will be my # 1 focus. NYPD must make arrests again!
- Regulating E-bikes, Citi Bikes and Scooters. Keeping them off our sidewalks.
- Diverting bike lanes around congested areas. NO to congestion TAXING!
- Regulating restaurant sheds and sidewalk cafés from taking over sidewalks & streets.
- Having NYPD lock up our city parks at night instead of the Parks Department.
- Using Rikers Island as a treatment Center for those who have been in trouble with the law and with drug dependency problems .
- Realistic containerization ordinance and a new plan to dispose of NYC’s trash. See links below for more information:

- Civilian representation on every City Council Committees. Checks & balances are needed.
- Young adults in housing projects not paying rent until the age of 26 to save for their future.
- Saving, Elizabeth Street Garden, Tony Dapolito Center, and the Fulton Housing Projects.
I am a preservationist at heart, who will focus on preserving places and things that matter to us all.
