“I am running to represent the 70th Assembly District because I believe deeply in the potential of our community and its residents.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2024))
“Housing: We need to promote the development of more affordable, equitable, and accessible housing. I will fight to ensure that Harlem families are not priced out of our great village.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2024))
“Jobs: We must use these generational challenges we face as opportunities to invest in our people and provide them with pathways to change their lives. The development and upgrades needed to address the housing crisis represent a chance for our community to learn skills that not only can lead to careers in labor unions, but also BIPOC-led businesses that hire locally.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2024))
