| Collapse all
Former Community Board 11 member and the first female district leader of Mexican descent, I work with elected officials, clergy, and local businesses to advocate for what matters. I’m a proud grandmother of four and served as a parent coordinator with the NYC Department of Education, I witnessed firsthand the importance of school safety. That’s why I continue to fight for the return of the School Safety Task Force. Our children deserve safe learning environments.
I stand against developments that harm our neighborhoods, such as unnecessary upzoning and methadone clinics near schools. As President of Mothers Against 1900 Seminole, I lead efforts to stop a proposed facility for recently released inmates from being placed near schools.
Public safety is personal to me. I’m the mother of a retired NYPD detective, an NYPD sergeant, and the proud grandmother of two NYPD officers. I’ve served as a Civilian Advisor for Explorers, graduate of the Civilian Police Academy, and I currently serve as Spiritual Advisor for the Policewomen’s Endowment Association.
I will never defund the police, I believe in bridging the gap between officers and the communities. I stand firmly against antisemitism and all forms of hate.
I’m running to protect the interests of every New Yorker. To be a great leader is to empower others and leave a legacy. Psalm 91- My campaign focuses on Public Safety, Affordable housing, and Quality of Life. Every New Yorker deserves to feel safe in their home, on the streets and in their communities.
- Together, we can rebuild the greatest city in the world with economic stability, opportunity and hope. Let's support small businesses, create good-paying jobs and ensure everyone can afford to live and thrive in this city.
- We must invest in our children's education and give our youth the tools they need to succeed. For too long, we have failed to provide the support and the resources our young people deserve. Let's prioritize education and mentorship so that every child can reach their full potential. They are our future and together, we must invest in them.
