Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Increase public safety by properly funding the NYPD. Provide a pay raise to police officers. Expand cash bail and judicial discretion.
• Reduce traffic by removing red light and speed cameras and replacing them with Smart Traffic Light technology to be paid for with excess revenue generated from Verrazzano Bridge tolls earmarked for increasing public transportation. Staten Island doesn't have a subway so we must ease traffic to enhance bus service.
• Vocational training in High School and a focus on reading, writing and math in schools so young people are prepared for work. No mandatory masks or vaccines in schools.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about constituent policy and ensuring that government serves it's people, rather than the other way around. New York City government has become punitive instead of proactive. Constituents feel underserved, manipulated and oppressed. Good governance begins with providing incentives for investment into the economy and hope that one can achieve future success.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

The Borough President is the planner and chief advocate for the borough. She is responsible for setting an agenda to preserve the quality of life while moving the borough into the future.

Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and George Pataki. These men were compassionate leaders who were able to balance economic, social and environmental interests while achieving their goals.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

"Beyond the Great Divide" by George Pataki.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, dependability, the ability to listen and to communicate clearly and a strong work ethic.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Tenacious, relentless, imaginative, problem solver

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Constituent service.

What legacy would you like to leave?

A well planned borough that satisfies the live, work and play desires of residents at all stages of their lives. A place where people want to remain for their entire life.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Apollo 11 blast off and moon landing. I was 6 years old at the time.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Printer assistant at age 14 years. I held the job for about a year.

What is your favorite book? Why?

"Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. It evokes many deep emotions.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Proud Mary

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Raising a special needs child and having him predecease me.

Are there any little-known powers or responsibilities held by this office that you believe more people should be aware of?

The power to introduce legislation through councilmembers is under utilized.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

Executive management skills, neighborhood planning experience, emergency management skills, intergovernmental skills, understanding of the education and healthcare system.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Never criticize someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes.
