| Collapse all
I grew up in a patriotic military family. From a young age my parents instilled a deep commitment to service and justice. I really believed in the values I was taught this country is supposed to uphold but being biracial, I could see that the America my white family lived in was different than what my Black and Puerto Rican family experienced.
I wanted to make something of myself, needed a way to pay for college and got an Army scholarship when I was 18. I became a platoon leader responsible for 40 lives and was deployed to war in Afghanistan.
All my life I’ve seen the way our politics and our economy are rigged against us. I know what it’s like to be spoken for and not belong. I don't want to live in a world of lies, violence, and greed. Our truths matter, our lives matter, and fighting for our freedom and future matters.
I built my home in Staten Island after the war and this place embraced me. As a part of the community I’ve seen the way we're stigmatized, forgotten and told to be grateful for the crumbs we're handed by a revolving door of leaders who have continuously failed us. I'm running because I believe that we deserve more than we've been told we have to accept and because I want to prove that if we come together and fight for it, we can have it.- I think NY-11 is a very unique district. There are a lot of people who have been left behind by the political establishment that always courts the margins in the center while we have hundreds of thousands of constituents who don't turn out because they aren’t inspired. Red or blue, it keeps being the same thing. My life, my struggles, keep being the same. The reason I hope people get excited about my campaign is because I am carrying a torch, but it's not really about me. It’s about those of us who have been told that we don't deserve to have power in this system: the mothers, the workers, the first responders, the nurses, the people who have been written off. It’s about what we can have when we really believe in each other.
- I think what people really want is health care. Staten Island lost 275 people on 9/11, and we still carry that. A lot of families here still carry the grief of that. And yet, we've lost more than 1,500 in this pandemic alone. That's not even counting all of the systemic reasons that people are suffering and struggling that existed before the pandemic. The South Shore is still recovering from Hurricane Sandy because the government abandoned us. The policies that I support are popular, they're practical, they're what we need. I think that that's what leadership is, is actually meeting people with what they need, and putting that service and that concrete care for the community before all else.
- The lie of scarcity in America is exactly that: a lie. There's enough to go around if we have people who have the courage and integrity to invest in that kind of care. A lot of that analysis and understanding of these systems that I hold now came out of deploying to war. I was responsible for lives right out of college, and I saw contractors running around making hundreds of thousands of dollars. That raised questions to me. The more I learned, the more I could see that this was a fundamental, systemic issue. Members of Congress receive significant campaign contributions from the defense industry while 40,000 veterans go homeless and thousands of active-duty military families rely on food stamps. That needs to change.
Climate and Security: I believe we must take a comprehensive approach to national security that leverages proactive cooperation and diplomacy to address the full scope of the dangers we face. No longer can we fail to acknowledge the realities of climate change- the largest national security threat facing our generation today.
