At 17 years old, I arrived in New York City with the dream of becoming an artist, and the knowledge that New York City was the only place I could make that dream come true. Since that day, I co-created a groundbreaking podcast focusing on women’s issues, relationships, and mental health as well as creating and hosting a political podcast focused on critical thinking making me a top name in the industry, written a book published by HarperCollins, became an internationally recognized standup comedian, given a Tedx Talk, and led a fanbase of millions of listeners to seek a better life for themselves. And, after my Dad died, I even took over my family’s brick and mortar baseball card store for several years so I understand firsthand how challenging it is to run a small business. For the past twelve years, I have used my platform in the entertainment business to advocate for people with less reach and push for social change, now it’s time I do that and more in the dark terrain that has become politics. I’ve made my dreams come true in this city, and I’ve worked to support other New Yorkers in following their dreams, too. I’m so grateful for my experiences in volunteering and activism with nonprofits including New Alternatives for LGBTQ+ homeless youth, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Marriage Equality, Girl Scouts of the USA, PupStarz, Funny For Fido, and the Reproductive Health Access Project.
  • I am not a career politician and I consider that to be one of the most exciting and important parts of my campaign. I know the needs of the people because I am one of those people. I will not be speaking to you in phrases created by my team, but rather with words that come from my heart. I will not be using political jargon that makes you feel detached from the conversation, I will be engaging you by directly addressing your concerns. So, no, I don’t have traditional experience, but I have extensive experience leading people and provoking change, it’s actually what I’m most known for.
  • We are losing party members to the Republicans because we lack party unity and we refuse to try something new. I am something new. I want to serve the public because I feel like the Democratic Party is failing us, but I have hope that with a new voice and a different approach it can be revived.
  • We, the people, hold the power, but we have been beaten down so badly by our government that we have forgotten. Let's take the power back together.
As the daughter of a public school teacher, I am extremely passionate about education. Every single child deserves access to a quality education in a safe classroom with a qualified educator. Test scores are plummeting nationwide, but many citizens, including the parents of school children, are unaware because schools are hiding it by simply lowering the bar instead of developing stronger methods of teaching. I also want to introduce curriculum elements that focus on critical thinking and media literacy to prepare students for the new ways we take in information.

My signature program - tax breaks for volunteering - offers a fresh route to cutting the cost of living through community engagement. Saving money while helping your community.
I don't know that I would say anyone else's work reflects my political philosophy as I am more own person, but a core part of my political philosophy is to govern with empathy (not to be confused with coddling, which I am vehemently against). Two books that have taught me to be more empathetic are So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson, a must-read in our current climate of trial by social media and When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön, a book the often self-righteous, "on the right side of history" Democratic Party could learn a lot from.
An understanding of the people and place they want to govern, an ability to put the needs and wants of the people ahead of their own biases, and integrity.
To act as a voice of the people and to advocate for them hard, whether or not they cast a ballot (or if they cast a ballot for someone else).
Honestly? The OJ Simpson case. I was 9 and absolutely riveted by the Bronco chase. But, also, so sad that my first historical memory is a double homicide. Devastatingly American.
I read to children at an early childhood center for a year.
A mayor must set an example by being an active citizen in the space she or he is governing, must make decisions that are best for the people, even when they are not in their own personal best interest, and must be the loudest voice for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
Creating unity within the municipal government she or he oversees. This does not mean that all the politicians must agree all the time or that checks and balances shouldn't exist, it simply means goals must be identified and a pathway towards them forged.
The mayor should hear the needs and wants of city council and take them very seriously, but ultimately have the courage to make executive decisions based on facts and the needs of the constituents, not personal political relationships.
The energy. New York City holds an electricity other cities wish they had. And also the oddest oddballs. So much personality.
The skyrocketing cost of living. Native New Yorkers shouldn't need to fight to stay where they were born.
Constantly communicating, but recognizing that New York City, especially, is its own world with its own unique set of circumstances which is one of the reasons I am so interested in and excited about governing it.
Right now? Standing up to an attempted decimation of democracy. No one messes with New York City, not even someone who owns multiple buildings here.
The mayor's office and law enforcement need to be in constant communication as safety is one of the most important factors in a city running smoothly.
Everything should be transparent in the government unless it would cause imminent danger through hysteria to the masses. One of the best things about America is that we are granted access to information and can make adjustments in our life accordingly.

Politicians are people and will make mistakes. We must allow and expect that as citizens. When we need to become concerned is when a politician is unwilling to admit they have made a mistake and even less willing to work overtime to win back the trust of the people.
