I am the only Candidate that has been elected and entrusted to serve our community over many years. I have a proven record that is unmatched and have devoted many years of service to this community without any pay.

I am the only elected public official in this state with a perfect attendance record which proves my commitment to putting the interests of residents and community above the interests of political bosses and District Leaders.

As your Community School Board Member, I have helped thousands of parents and children demanding more school services as crossing guards, police, traffic lights, and other safety and health concerns, while increasing funding for the construction of new schools and producing over 7,000 new seats. I was involved in the successful lawsuit against the state for inadequate funding for NYC schools.

As a Judicial Delegate, I have nominated several Supreme Court Judges to the benches of the courts of our country.
