Will be up in the next two weeks.
New Jersey faces several urgent challenges, including high taxes, unchecked overdevelopment without proper infrastructure planning, and the need for school choice. To address these, I will fight to lower the tax burden on hardworking residents, ensure responsible development that prioritizes infrastructure and quality of life, and advocate for school choice programs that empower parents to make the best educational decisions for their children.
The United States is and will always be a Constitutional Republic, and protecting our Bill of Rights must be a top priority. Unfortunately, the current administration and General Assembly have openly contradicted the Constitution. To strengthen our Republic, we must hold politicians and bureaucrats accountable. Any elected official or government employee who enforces or enacts laws that directly violate our Constitution should face criminal prosecution and removal from office.
I will push for the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency in New Jersey to track taxpayer dollars, eliminate wasteful spending, and ensure financial transparency. By cutting unnecessary programs and streamlining government operations, we can protect the hard-earned money of New Jerseyans and foster an environment that supports businesses and job growth.
New Jersey must implement a school voucher program. Parents deserve the right to choose the best educational path for their children. Whether that be public, private, charter, or homeschooling, no child should be forced into a failing system! The government should not hold a monopoly on education; competition will drive improvement and ensure every child has access to the resources they need to succeed.
As a descendant of legal immigrants, I support a common-sense approach to immigration. New Jersey must cooperate with ICE to reduce the number of illegal immigrants residing in our state. In 2024 alone, New Jersey spent over $7.2 billion on services for illegal immigrants. That money could have been used to benefit American citizens. The government does not generate revenue; it collects money from hardworking taxpayers! We must prioritize spending on our communities, infrastructure, and education rather than incentivizing illegal immigration.

As I run for re-election in the 31st Legislative District, I remain committed to addressing the challenges our communities face. Reliable, affordable public transportation is essential for Bayonne, Jersey City, and Kearny. I will continue advocating for investments in mass transit to improve access to jobs, schools, and services.
Our schools have suffered devastating funding cuts, and our students deserve better. I will keep fighting for equitable school funding to ensure every child has the resources they need to succeed.
Affordability is another major concern. From housing to healthcare, working families need relief. I support expanding affordable housing, advocating for fair property tax policies, and lowering the cost of living. Additionally, I remain dedicated to protecting the environment, strengthening public schools, and promoting government transparency.
A fair and transparent government is the foundation of a healthy democracy. That’s why I was proud to stand against efforts to weaken New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA). I believe in protecting the public's right to access information and hold their government accountable.
I also support expanding voter access by protecting early voting, making it easier to register to vote, supporting fair ballots, and implementing same-day voter registration to ensure all communities have equitable access to the ballot box. Furthermore, I’ll continue working to eliminate the influence of dark money in politics and push for greater transparency in campaign financing.
Supporting local businesses and creating good-paying jobs are central to my economic vision. I believe in making smart investments in infrastructure that generate jobs and support small businesses. I will continue advocating for policies that strengthen our transit systems, roads, and public facilities, ensuring they meet the needs of our growing communities.
Additionally, I support expanding workforce development programs that provide training and education for emerging industries. By encouraging clean energy jobs, promoting apprenticeship programs, and fostering small business growth, we can build a more resilient and thriving economy for all New Jerseyans.
Every child deserves access to a high-quality education, regardless of their zip code. That’s why I’ve been a vocal advocate for restoring school funding and ensuring our districts receive the resources they need. As I’ve made clear, I will vote no on any state budget that fails to reverse the devastating cuts to Bayonne and Jersey City schools. Our students, teachers, and families shouldn’t bear the burden of these harmful reductions.
In addition to fighting for equitable funding, I support expanding early childhood education programs, strengthening special education services, and increasing access to mental health resources for students. Our children’s futures depend on fully funded, well-supported schools, and I remain committed to making that a reality.
New Jersey is a state of immigrants, and our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. In my district, immigrant families contribute to the rich fabric of our communities. As a proud co-sponsor of the Immigrant Trust Act, I have worked to ensure that all residents, regardless of immigration status, can live without fear and access essential services.
I support policies that provide a clear and fair pathway to citizenship for undocumented individuals, protect families from unjust deportation, and ensure access to healthcare, education, and other vital resources.
Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and welcomed. In Trenton, I will continue advocating for inclusive policies that protect the rights and dignity of all residents, reflecting the values of the 31st District and our state.

The 31st District faces urgent challenges in 2025: public transportation, school funding, and affordability.
Too many families in Bayonne, Jersey City, and Kearny deal with unreliable, overcrowded transit. I’ll fight for investments in the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, better NJ Transit service, and modernized transit hubs to improve access to jobs, healthcare, and education.
Our public schools are underfunded, with growing class sizes and aging facilities. I’ll push for a fairer funding formula, protect critical grants, and invest in early education, special education, and student mental health.
Rising costs are pushing families out. I support expanding affordable housing, strengthening tenant protections, making healthcare more affordable, and enacting fair tax policies that ease the burden on working- and middle-class residents.
New Jersey should be a place where families can thrive, not one they’re forced to leave.
A healthy democracy requires transparency, accountability, and participation. That’s why I opposed efforts to weaken New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA). Residents deserve clear access to how decisions are made and how taxpayer funds are spent. I’ll push for stronger transparency standards and better digital access to information.
Voting access is essential. I support expanding early voting, online registration, vote-by-mail, and same-day registration to remove bureaucratic barriers. I also support nonpartisan redistricting reforms to ensure fair representation.
We must make participation in democracy easier, not harder. I’m committed to improving public records laws, voting rights, and civic education to create a more responsive and inclusive government.
A strong, inclusive economy starts with expanding opportunity. In the 31st District, that means supporting small businesses, investing in infrastructure, and preparing our workforce for the future.
Small businesses are vital to our communities. I’ll fight to reduce red tape, expand financing access, and provide technical assistance to help entrepreneurs thrive.
Infrastructure investments create jobs and improve quality of life. I support funding for road repairs, public space upgrades, and transit improvements that benefit Hudson County, all while creating good-paying, union jobs.
To build for the future, we must invest in workforce development. I’ll champion job training, certifications, and apprenticeships in high-demand sectors like clean energy, healthcare, and technology, helping families achieve long-term financial stability.
Public education is the foundation of opportunity and must be equitable, fully funded, and inclusive. In Bayonne and Jersey City, too many students face outdated resources, overcrowded classrooms, and limited mental health support. I will fight for a fairer state funding formula, restoring cuts, fully funding special education, and expanding early childhood education. I will protect critical programs like Title IIA, which supports educators, and ensure after-school tutoring and enrichment opportunities are expanded.
Every school should have full-time mental health professionals and support staff. Mental health is essential for academic success and must be prioritized. I will also advocate for competitive pay, mentorship programs, and leadership pipelines to recruit and retain dedicated educators.
Strong schools build strong communities, and I’m committed to a system that empowers every child and supports every educator.
New Jersey’s strength is in its diversity, and immigrant communities are vital to our economy and culture. I support humane immigration policies that reflect fairness, inclusion, and opportunity.
I back a clear path to legal status for those who qualify and maintaining access to healthcare, education, and housing, regardless of immigration status. When our neighbors are stable, our communities are stronger.
I’ll work to protect immigrant families from discrimination, oppose local involvement in federal immigration enforcement, and expand language access across state agencies. These steps ensure all residents can navigate public systems and exercise their rights.
In the Assembly, I will champion policies that recognize the contributions of immigrant families and ensure everyone—regardless of background—has the opportunity to succeed.
