Over the past 2 years, I have been pleased to serve as the Councilman for the 47th District, representing the neighborhoods of Bensonhurst, Brighton Beach, Coney Island and Gravesend. Serving these communities has been a life long dream of mine and I cherish every day that I have the opportunity to wake up and serve my community.

In the City Council, I serve as the Chair of the Small Business, Retail and Emerging Industries Committee as well as a Member of the following committees: Cultural Affairs, Libraries & International Intergroup Relations; Education; and Economic Development.

Serving on these committees has given me the opportunity to continue my commitment to our children and seniors. As a past President of Community School Board 21, I understand the importance of giving our children a strong learning experience in our city’s schools. I have always dedicated myself to ensuring that every child in every school receives the best possible education. I believe that our children are our future and as a member of the Education Committee, I have had the opportunity to make sure that our children get the education they deserve.

In addition, I am proud to be endorsed by Borough President Marty Markowitz, Comptroller William C. Thompson, Speaker Gifford Miller, Assemblywoman Adele Cohen, Assemblyman Steve Cymbrowitz, State Senator Seymour Lachman and The Working Families Party.

With your continued help and support, I will continue the work I have already begun at City Hall. By working together, I know we can once again, achieve great things on behalf of our community.
