I am deeply committed to advocating for investments in environmental protection and taking proactive measures to minimize our carbon footprint. I foresee myself as a steadfast advocate in Albany for years to come.
While progress has been made, the fight for equality is far from over. We must confront systemic racism, protect civil rights, and push back against any effort to roll back the progress generations fought to achieve.
New York State should protect and strengthen the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York and fight against any attempts to dilute voting rights of any group.

Universal Healthcare + Childcare; ICE Out of NY; Oppose Forever Wars + Free Palestine
New York must lead the way in our nationwide effort to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. We are at an existential moment and only a full-scale effort across all levels of government will adequately address the climate crisis.
I support policies that will uplift the working class of NYC - promoting a fair tax system that will ensure the highest earners and large corporations pay their fair share. Programs like universal childcare and healthcare will save money for NYC's working families.
This decision was an abomination. New York should continue to protect the voting rights of all citizens by drawing fair district maps that adequately account for historical racial discrimination.
