Candidate Statement
The strength and resilience that I see in my patients as a frontline caregiver at Montefiore Medical Center has inspired me to serve our community. Our District and community is diverse, hardworking, and reflects the best parts of the Bronx and our city. However, the Bronx and our district continues to face real challenges that I am determined to meet head on as your Member of Assembly.
It is critical that we continue to fight to improve our community’s health and increase access to affordable comprehensive health care. However, this alone will not be enough to improve our community’s health. Improved education, and access to better jobs can ensure that our community grows sustainably.
