Rodriguez provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:
| “ |
I am proud to say that over the past 8 years I've served as Council Member, the communities I represent have taken tremendous strides in education, cultural arts, economic development and improved open space, and I am glad to have played a role in this progress. At City Hall, as Chair of the Committee on Transportation, I have worked with city agencies to address inequities in our transit system, the crippling cost of traffic congestion and how we can add or improve safe, efficient and affordable transportation options for more New Yorkers. Part of this effort entailed leading the fight for half-priced MetroCards for low income residents to improve mobility and fight poverty. Having spent many years as a teacher, I am passionate about helping young people from all backgrounds reach their fullest potential through education, both in & out of the classroom. It is why I have supported dozens of afterschool, sports and arts programming uptown. It is my highest privilege to serve northern Manhattan in the City Council and if reelected with your support, I will continue to work every day on your behalf.[4][5] |
