I have held responsible professional and managerial positions for the past 35 years at the United Nations and in the NYC Department of City Planning, Human Resources Administration and the NYC Housing Authority. I am well versed in the intricacies of municipal government and have what it takes to be a leader. I have worked tirelessly to improve city government and enhance quality of life for our citizens. I am strongly committed to the economic and political empowerment of residents in District 28 and will work to increase employment opportunities by getting a share of the multi-billion dollar contracts at JFK for small and medium size businesses in our district; expand and improve educational facilities; improve the delivery of health services to all citizens; improve police community relations for safer neighborhoods; develop inter-generational facilities for the young and seniors; develop programs for more affordable housing including ethical lending practices and equitable insurance rates for home owners and businesses. I will create local business and community partnerships to solve the problems of congestion,environmental pollution, transportation and other quality of life issues. I will continue to be a strong voice for working families, children, and seniors. I will support common sense solutions to our day-to-day problems with progressive innovation and community involvement. In the aftermath of 9/11, New York faces unprecedented challenges to re-build and protect our economy, lift our spirits and improve our quality of life. I believe I have the right experience, knowledge and compassion to lead our communities in these difficult times.
