I am committed to restoring the quality of life in my community. It’s the reason I want to be your next City Council Member in the 45th Council District of Flatbush, East Flatbush and Flatlands. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I have lived in the Flatbush community for over 25 years. I am a product of the New York City public school system; I attended P.S. 193, Andres Hudde J.H.S. 240 and Midwood High School, in the 45th District. I will use my leadership skills, vision and activism to benefit the residents I seek to represent in the City Council.

The issues that are important to the 45th District are clear:

  • Providing quality public education for every child

  • Fighting to dramatically increase after-school programs

  • Assuring access to quality and affordable childcare

  • Developing community businesses

  • Advocating for a speedy and unambiguous immigration process

  • Working to develop innovative public transportation solutions

  • Assuring access to quality healthcare

As I travel around the district and hear the stories of my neighbors my commitment has deepened to meet the challenges before us. I will persist in working on behalf of our community. As a member of the City Council, I will continue to reach as many people as possible to build partnerships and develop solutions to the issues that are important to our community.
