As a life long Brooklynite, I am the son of a former school aide who has raised four boys by herself on a salary of next to nothing. Having experienced and survived homelessness first hand I understand the struggles and dreams of Brooklyn families trying to make ends meet and raise their children today. I also understand the challenges facing our district and I will provide the vision and leadership necessary to meet these challenges.

As your Councilman I will strike a balance between Economic Development and Community Reinvestment. My previous city, state and federal government experience uniquely qualifies me as the best candidate to advocate and champion a broad range of issues that effect our community. I have personally resolved well over 1,500 constituent related issues such as Public Safety, Affordable Housing, Healthcare, Immigration, Public Housing, Social Security, Disability, Traffic Calming, Environmental Protection, and most importantly Education. I will continue to fight these challenges for you and I will assemble a professional staff that will be proficient in social services in order to serve you in a more timely, effective manner. I will leverage my professional business relationships to identify funding for our community based organizations and educational programs.

I will work hard and diligently to unify our elected officials and community leaders to create a team that will bring home all the deliverables our community deserve.
