The most important issues facing Peekskill are housing affordability, public safety, and quality of life. My plan focuses on creating more mixed-income housing by leveraging city land and seeking external funding. I will support first responders with resources, promote community policing to build trust and address root causes of crime, and create a citywide emergency management action plan. For quality of life, I will address basics like trash and sidewalks, addressing the downtown trash issue and city wide collection, implement a "Sponge City" plan for climate resilience, and improve walkability with a "20-Minute Neighborhood" concept. I will also work to transform the train station into a transportation hub & look to expanding bus routes. Fiscal responsibility is key; I oppose exceeding the 2% tax cap and will prioritize transparent allocation of funds and investment in public services over pay raises.
