Why I’m running
I am committed to public service and bring experience as a past Freeport School Board trustee and president (nine years), Freeport Village Board Trustee (three years) and legislator and now alternate deputy minority leader (nearly eight years) to this position.
I am also committed to seeing several key initiatives that I have embarked upon through to completion, and I am excited about the opportunity to serve the residents of the 6th District for the next two years, if afforded the privilege by the voters.
Top 3 issues
- I continue to focus on infrastructure investments, and my efforts to date have yielded the completion of a multimillion-dollar overhaul of Roosevelt’s Centennial Park; $13 million for improvements to Baldwin’s Grand Avenue Complete Streets project; $3 million to
beautify Silver Lake Park and correct flooding, and millions more to address flooding on Long Beach Road in South Hempstead. - I continue to emphasize environmental issues and have been a vocal supporter of the BayPark Conveyance Project, which is set to come online soon and will address severe pollution that has long plagued Freeport’s Reynolds Channel.
- As a member of the Legislature’s Public Safety Committee, I continue to advocate for proper resourcing of the Nassau police; fight for solutions to the ongoing detective shortage; and champion mental health resources for law enforcement and first responders.
