I was born, raised,
educated and still reside in the 35th Councilmanic
District. I am 39 years old and I have faithfully
served my community as Democratic District Leader,
Reverend, Community Activist and NYC police officer.
I have devoted my life to lowering crime and making
our neighborhoods better and safer places to live.
As Councilman I will provide better healthcare services,
improved safety, quality education, jobs, affordable
housing, city residency for police officers and
firefighters, AIDS awareness, immigration rights
and pet owner rights. I will implement initiatives
for daycare, safer schools, smaller classrooms equipped
with Internet accessible computers and larger drug-free
zones.
I will reduce property owner utility bills and taxes
and protect tenants’ rights. I will provide free
prescription drugs, modern centers for senior citizens
and state-of-the art youth recreational and learning
centers. I will implement economic empowerment initiatives
including pay raises for civil service employees
and better paying jobs in the private sector. I
will create adult literacy programs, computer courses
and parenting skill workshops.
I will provide enhanced bus and subway services
and champion environmental causes including more
funding for our public Parks and Recreational facilities.
I will provide increased community policing where
needed, neighborhood beautification and a better
quality of life for all.
As a Democratic District Leader, Reverend, Community
Activist and NYC Police Officer, I have a proven
record and am by far the MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE
to bring millions of dollars worth of resources
and services to our community and lead us into peace
and prosperity.
