3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?
My experience as Community Liaison for Assemblyman William Scarborough, and working with Elected Official, and as a member of Community Board 12 give me the knowledge of the problems within the district. It also gives me the ability navigate the different agencies to get quick results to the constituents in need of help. I have also worked closely with the Commanders of our local precincts to bring a more pleasing relationship between the police and the community, such as helping to promote events, Talent Shows, National Night Out Against Crime, monthly Precinct Council Meetings. My environmental work on the cleanup of the Westside Toxic Corporation, a site that had contaminated the groundwater in our community, made me an environmental leader within city. I am currently working with several organizations presently to address the rising water table a problem that is affecting homeowners and the business community with groundwater intrusion. My knowledge and history of getting the job done surely makes me the best candidate.
