- Our communities need more ownership of our land. That when when our neighborhoods develop, we grow with it instead of getting displaced.
- As the second largest city in the nation, we deserve world class public transit. Regular bus and train services, dignified sidewalks that are well lit and shaded, and clean and safe bus and subway stops.
- We need to protect our seniors. Our district has lots of multi-generational families, many immigrant and monolingual. We need a state government laser focused on making sure our seniors can age in place and with dignity.
Elected officials who power is rooted in the community, not political machines and party favors.
