Why I’m running
I’m running to continue serving our community with the experience, dedication, and passion I’ve brought to public service for over two decades.
As possibly the first Asian American elected to the Nassau County Legislature, I want to ensure that our changing demographics are fully represented and that every community’s voice is heard.
I believe in putting families first, investing in education, supporting our seniors, and making neighborhoods safer. My goal is to bring practical solutions, strong leadership, and a commitment to fairness and equity so our communities can thrive now and for generations to come.
Top three issues you’re focused on and what will you do to fix them?
My top priorities are community safety, fiscal responsibility, and healthy neighborhoods. Keeping families safe is paramount, and I will strengthen support for law enforcement and first responders by increasing 911 dispatch staffing, assigning more social workers to address their mental and emotional needs, and restoring the Safe House that was closed this year.
I am committed to fiscal responsibility, ensuring every tax dollar is invested wisely in public safety, upgraded infrastructure, and essential programs that keep our communities strong and affordable. Our neighborhoods must thrive, and that means addressing failing roads, deteriorating parks, persistent flooding, and other compounding infrastructure challenges caused by county attrition and understaffing.
I will invest in our communities, maintaining buildings and systems, supporting our youth, seniors, and veterans, and creating safe, vibrant, and resilient neighborhoods that we can all be proud of.
