"In 2026, my goals are to make Brooklyn more affordable, accessible, and safe for everyone. As chair of the Committee on Disabilities, I'm advancing disability justice and pushing city agencies to center accessibility in their work. I'm protecting tenants, expanding access to public childcare, improving street and pedestrian safety and securing strong investments in our schools and parks."
"My work directly impacts daily life - whether it's safer streets, stronger tenant protections, cleaner parks, better-funded schools or more accessible city services. After our office flagged hazardous conditions, DSNY crews went out and shoveled specific intersections and pedestrian ramps to improve accessibility following snowstorms."
"Our office helps connect constituents to city services, for issues big and small. We assist with housing concerns, including tenant advocacy and repairs; help families access public benefits and health care; address sanitation and street safety issues."
