I have lived in the 43rd District all
my life and feel a deep connection to the neighborhoods
where I grew up, married and raised my children.
A practicing attorney for over 15 years, I have
always made time for public service. Through two
decades of community involvement, I know the people
of my District and know what it needs to continue
to be a safe and vibrant place to live and raise
a family.
Over the years, I have demanded improved conditions
in our schools, better subway and express bus
service and cleaner streets and parks. I have
provided tax and benefit assistance to senior
citizens and was a leader in the fight to stop
the conversion of our commercial avenues into
one-way traffic and the plan’s disruption of our
residential fabric. I vigorously opposed the construction
of a garbage transfer station in our District
and continue to oppose over-development that threatens
the quality of life in our community.
The voters in the District recognize my dedication
to our community. In 1997, I was proud to win
the Democratic primary for City Council.
As Council member, I will continue to represent
people by listening to them, using their ideas
and talents and fighting for every dollar to improve
our District. I will use my professional skills,
knowledge of my community and city government,
and experience - as a mother, teacher, lawyer,
and community leader - to fight for the neighborhoods
I have been proud to call home.
