DISTRICT 40 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY  -  TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 2021

I'm running to be the next City Council Member for District 40 because I believe we need more working people at City Hall. As an educator, I've gotten things done for my students. As an activist, I've created change. Now, I'm ready to help our district realize its full potential. Join me and let's transform our communities to work better for us all.

Chip in & help us build a truly people powered campaign.

PLATFORM

This campaign is about justice, equality, and recovery for all New Yorkers. As future leaders of our City, it is incumbent upon us to lay out clear plans for how we will make our communities places where all people can thrive.

Whether it's transforming our education system, ensuring affordable housing, or combatting climate change, we have work to do.
