| Collapse all
- I am a political outsider, and I have never ran for public office before. I am simply a disgruntled voter in Lindenhurst who felt that my representative was not doing enough for my neighbors and I. I am in the business of getting things done, and I am willing to work with whoever to make sure that the south shore is receiving the funding and leadership that it deserves. We need to restore some faith in our democracy by electing individuals worthy of our trust, and I vow to be just that.
- We need to bring things back to basics and put money back in the pockets of the middle class. I am a staunch supporter of repealing the SALT cap and expanding upon the Child Tax Credit. So many families on Long Island are in dire need of financial relief, and when elected I will champion this cause. People are leaving Long Island in droves, and it is because homeownership is unattainable for young adults. Buying a home with my fiance has been nearly impossible, and I will work with local-level officials across the district to secure more affordable housing options. I will also provide support for first-time homeowners and support bills that do so.
- I am making an initiative to make myself as available as possible to my neighbors. I want to make it very clear that I am here to listen. For far too long the Second District has been neglected by their representative. Whether its Brentwood or Mastic Beach, I am taking note of the real issues facing our constituents and when elected I plan to take action. We need representatives that show up and are a part of their communities.
