My experience and love for the West Harlem/Hamilton Heights community and New York City provide a perfect opportunity to serve all the people of the 7th City Council District. If you want a City Council member who seeks all opinions and searches for the common ground, than I am that person. If putting the interests of New York City and the 7th District together in order to provide services is what you are looking for, I am that person. If you feel that city services are important whether that means picking up garbage, policing our neighborhoods, or providing education to our young people, then I am that person. And finally, equal access for all New Yorkers must never be taken for granted, especially in the area of jobs and health care.
