My top 3 priorities include addressing the rising cost of living, securing more state aid for Yonkers Public Schools, and fixing tier 6 to make sure all our public servants get the dignified retirements they deserve. On the rising cost of living includes a particular focus on Coned. Coned has a monopoly over our utilities and residents can no longer afford it.
NYS must maintain clear targets for lowering emissions. Investments must continue to be made in non-polluting energy sources such as solar. There needs to be increased efficiency in areas like our buildings, transportation, and appliances. Also, resilient infrastructure needs to be built out across our State for issues like flood control and heat mitigation.
I will pursue policies that makes sure New York State is investing in all communities with a particular focus on communities that have been historically marginalized. In addition, I look forward to being a voice that consistently speaks out against all forms of discrimination and hate.
Regardless of decisions from SCOTUS, New York State must have safeguards in place to make sure New York's districts never intentionally divide community of colors or other historically marginalized communities to dilute their voting power.
