My name is Ruka Anzai. I am a mother, immigrant, and IT professional who wants to live in a safe and prosperous New York. I'm running for Assembly because we need common sense in our government, and right now we are not receiving that. With your help, we will take back New York State for the hardworking taxpayers who deserve honest representation.
As your Assemblywoman, I will listen to and act by the will of the people. I thank you for your support in the days ahead. Please come to vote and create a victory on November 8th. Representation and growth will come back to New York.- Repeal "Cashless Bail"
- "Refund" the Police
- Make Property Tax Rebate permannent
We also need genuine tax relief. I will work to make the gas tax rollback permanent, and I will fight to reverse the $1 billion commuter tax (aka congestion pricing).
