WHY ARE YOU THE BEST CHOICE?
I am the best choice for my community because
I am:
- Experienced in the inner workings
of government having been a public servant for
more than 20 years with the HRA and the HHC;
- Qualified due to education,
training, and leadership experience;
- Hard Working, focused and goal oriented;
- Sensitive to the needs of my
fellow residents;
- Accessible and available to
discuss constituents’ concerns;
Finally, I am “Dedicated to Serving Our
Community” so as to help our residents
achieve a better quality of life.
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF?
I, my wife, Constance, and our daughter Cassaundra
are longtime residents of Rosedale. I have been
serving my community through my church,
fraternal organization, self-help groups, and other
organizations and have been elected to leadership
positions and received honors and awards for my
effectiveness and dedication.
Having worked with such organizations as Chase Bank
and Peat, Marwick, Mitchel & Co., I served with
the City of New York for over twenty years, first
as an assistant manager of the admissions department
at Harlem Hospital, and now as a computer specialist
with HRA.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH?
I want to:
1. Better Educate Our Children
2. Increase Our Safety And Security
3. Increase Municipal Services to Our Area
4. Repair and Reconstruct Our Infrastructure
5. Encourage Home Ownership
6. Encourage Business Growth and Development
I want to improve and enhance the quality of life
for people of my district. This entails having a
positive impact on various aspects of people’s everyday
lives, necessitating working with all aspects of
government. It also entails meeting with members
of my community to understand their needs and communicating
that to the appropriate people in government.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT, WE WILL!
