Campaign themes
2017
Green provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:
| “ |
I run to offer choice and to use our schools to prevent our district from becoming as crime ridden and bankrupt the once prosperous Detroit became. Detroit emerged from 50 years of one-party voting. Such lack of choice results in: (a) No economic development and job creation, (b) deteriorating quality of life from (stinky/filthy subways, van service, excessive homeless shelters, no nearby recreational facilities, drugs, flooded basements, and illegal foreclosures). I will use education to empower our community—infusing drugs and prostitution corridors with satellites of York College and PALs to be used as incubators for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math entrepreneurship ventures, and other training or mentoring to empower our constituents. I will demand our schools provide vocational, not prison, training—with genuine apprenticeship opportunities offered to develop the middle-level workers needed to build our city.[3][4] |
