“The people of the 109th deserve an Assembly Member who knows how to stand up for justice and equity, is motivated by a core belief that people are more important than corporate profit, and is unafraid to speak out and organize for her community.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2024))
“My story starts with my parents, who moved to Albany from their childhood homes in the Bronx (Rene) and Manhattan (Doris) to pursue a better life for their future children. Before them, their parents came from Puerto Rico to NYC.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2024))
“Albany has long deserved its due, and this historic multi-year investment reflects years of sustained, hard-fought effort to deliver for our community.” (Official legislative newsroom (nyassembly.gov))
