  • My family has called this district home for four generations. In the Assembly, Majority, I will fight for us - to protect our environment, keep our families safe, create local jobs, and lower taxes.
  • We need experts in elected office who understand public health emergencies and can advocate for science-based virus response strategies. Gregory will take his public health expertise to Albany and assist New Yorkers in getting through the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Our entire district is within a Category 3 hurricane evacuation zone. Superstorm Sandy showed us that no one is safe. We need to support those still rebuilding and harden our infrastructure for the inevitable future storms we will face.
Our health care system doesn't work for the people who need it most. It's complicated, cumbersome, and poor at focusing on preventative care. For those who have had enough, let's route out expensive market inefficiencies and build something better.

It's about time we started talking about innovation in gun violence prevention. It's also about time the federal government acted. Let's work together, with law enforcement and government to keep our innocent safe and save lives.

I stand by a woman's right to choose. It is imperative that we protect safe, legal access to all maternal and reproductive health mechanisms. When in office, I will defend reproductive rights at every turn.
