This election year offers
a great opportunity for community activists to
get elected to the New York City Council, in order
to bring about necessary programs which will better
the lives of the residents of New York. I have
been active in community affairs for over ten
years and have achieved significant accomplishments
working within community groups.
The needs of seniors are a top priority
for me. Members of the new City Council must ensure
the availability of programs and services for
our seniors. Those who have worked to help build
this city should not be ignored or abandoned.
The health care system must adapt
to the changing needs of our residents. Local
clinics and support services should be available
to all. The wise use of our financial resources
can cut overall costs, making the health care
delivery system a better one. My background in
this field puts me in a strong position to be
a knowledgeable advocate for reform.
Our educational system must not
be allowed to deteriorate. Parents, teachers and
school administrators must come together and make
necessary changes in our approach to public education.
Facilities have to be improved. Attitudes towards
the educational process who it serves, must be
at the heart of rebuilding the system. This means
hard choices for all concerned. The educational
needs of our children must be the core of any
proposals.
Quality of life issues which touch upon us daily
must be monitored by those in elective office.
It is the responsibility of representatives to
act swiftly and responsibly, improving the quality
of our city and its neighborhoods.
