| Collapse all
- I am the only Judge among the candidates in this race and I am deeply committed to justice and equality
- I am the only father, husband, and immigrant so I understand the struggles of everyday New Yorkers and their families
- I have been endorsed by major progressive leaders and Democratic clubs and I was given the top rating by three independent screening panels in 2020
My wife and I try to instill these values in their two kids, Elias (age 8) and Caitlin (age 5), as they grow and learn to be engaged citizens committed to diversity, inclusion, and equality. In terms of diversity, I am also running to be the first Asian American elected to Civil Court in this district.
