1. What is the most important issue in Queens you would address if elected?
I want to change the way Queens does business. The most important issue for the Queens Borough President is addressing economic growth and jobs. First, I would like to bring businesses back to Queens. I will make sure companies like Jet Blue stay in Queens; thus keeping jobs in Queens. This can be done by acquiring city, state and federal resources along with reasonable tax incentives to help these companies grow in Queens.
2. What other important issues would you address if elected?
Other issues I will address once in office are affordable housing, health care, education, public transportation, the closing of Queens hospitals, the way taxpayer dollars are spent and public safety.
3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?
I have a record of achievements in the business community that I can duplicate for the citizens of Queens. By changing the way Queens does business, I will bring back programs and services that have been unfairly reduced and/or eliminated. My business experience makes me uniquely suited in the race for Queens Borough President and to address economic issues in the largest recession since World War II.
