Candidate Statement
North Shore, Staten Island has severe rent, wage, and health care burdened segments of the city and state populations in New York.
As a New York assemblyperson I\'d like to create and lead committees that focus on progressive policies and the thousands of people that have fallen below the poverty line.
I support the full public funding of campaigns, criminalizing "stop and frisk" policing, and ending broken windows and quota policing along with the land speculation that exacerbates it.
Furthermore, I support a raise in minimum wage, the repeal of all anti-union laws, and requiring elections for public housing authority boards.
Additionally I support: voting rights for immigrants in local elections and lowering the voting age to 17 in New York State.
Lastly, I support harm reduction sites for opioid disorder and environmentally responsible improvements in public transit.
The way forward is a socialist agenda that implements a wealth tax in decreasing the vast SI precariat.
