| Collapse all
- Housing- We have multiple homeless shelters throughout the district and mentally ill residents sleeping on the streets. Rehab vacant buildings and house the homeless. I have been behind the scenes advocating for tenants housing rights and going against the private developers for neglect. I will continue to fight for real and sustainable housing. It’s time for transparency and new visions. I will strongly advocate for our seniors, disabled and mentally ill by making sure that they have a safe and supportive environment with access to an on-site social worker. Hold landlords accountable for neglecting their property.
- Education-It’s important to hire from within the district to work at our public schools. Build a partnership with the principals, teachers and staff to point out the needs of the district. Create more programs to keep our children socially active and advocate for art programs. Children in district 17 have the right to fair education . As a mom I believe in fighting for our children’s future. It takes a village to raise a child and I am that leader who is fighting for a better educational system.
- Public Safety- With gun and gang violence on the rise I vow to build a relationship with the community and NYPD. I am a community partner at the 41st precinct. My goal is to push for community involvement at the build-a-block meetings and precinct council meetings.
