Expand all | Collapse all

I was born in Moscow to a shoemaker and a bookkeeper, and attended the Moscow Technological Institute and graduated with dual degrees in Engineering and Economics. I arrived in Brooklyn speaking only twenty-one words of English. I worked hard and eventually opened my own business and became very active in my community, where I was elected Treasurer to Community Board 13.

With public service still a strong desire, I founded the Council of Jewish Émigré Community Organizations, an organization that provided programs for youth, seniors, and community groups. COJECO worked closely with some larger institutions, including JCRC, NYANA, FEGS, 92nd Street Y, and many others. I decide to run for office, and was elected Assemblyman to the 46th Assembly District. I served on the aging, cities, governmental employees, housing, and social services committees, and received a Public Service Commendation Medal from the Department of the Army for service, support, and commitment to the military community. In 2013, my colleagues named me the Vice-Chair for Majority Steering and Chair of the Assembly Task Force for New Americans. After 9 years of successfully representing my constituents, in 2015 I left the Assembly for family reasons.

This year I decided to return to public service. During my time in the Assembly, we achieved so much. I know we can achieve so much more.
  • END BAIL REFORM
  • SAFE STREETS
  • EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN
Reverse Bail Reform.

The so-called “bail reform” created a revolving door. Violent criminals are released immediately upon arrest, only to victimize some of the most vulnerable members of society: children, women, and seniors. It’s time for our elected officials to stop siding with the criminals and start siding with the law-abiding citizens who want to live their lives in safety and peace.
Lower Taxes, Less Bureaucracy.
As a long-time small business owner, Alec understands the needs of small businesses. New York must be the engine of growth that is supportive of businesses, big and small. Too many taxes and bureaucratic regulations have driven companies out of New York. There are too many wasteful political programs that benefit from business taxation, but over-taxing businesses is never the solution.
Bring Back Merit-Based Education.

Many residents in our district attended Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Tech, and other merit-based schools. A disproportionate number of these students are immigrants whose parents are working hard for little pay in hopes that their children will have a fair shot at the American Dream.The politicians waged war on these schools and tried to snuff out the competitive spirit that drives students to excel and achieve. It’s time to bring back and expand the gifted and talented programs. We must also pave the way for more, NOT less, Charter schools, as they have shown incredible progress and bring to light the inefficiencies with our current system.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New York

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
