Bronx schools are in dire need for more funding and necessary materials. This disparity contributes to an achievement gap that disproportionately affects students from low-income families. Our children are being denied their right to a quality education. The future of The Bronx depends on leveling the playing field—investing more in historically disenfranchised public schools and infrastructure investments to open new schools. Teachers should be supported to ensure that every child, regardless of their ZIP code, has an equal shot at success.

First and foremost supporting our retirees right to medical coverage by supporting Bill 1096. The bridges connecting our sick and vulnerable to life-saving healthcare have collapsed. This gap is a moral crisis that demands immediate action. Despite healthcare being the largest employer group, The Bronx has the worst healthcare results in the City. We must build new, stronger bridges by collaborating with hospitals, clinics, schools, and healthcare leaders to ensure a higher patient-to-provider ratio and better emergency response capabilities. Support having doctors and nurse practitioners do rotations in public schools to service all community stakeholders, including the LGBTQ+ community.

Support programs that uplift small businesses like our street vendors.

I will fight for Bronx women to have full access to reproductive care—including abortion, contraception, and prenatal services. No one should face barriers due to cost, race, or zip code.

I will fight for the rights of LGBTQ+ Bronx residents who face barriers to affirming healthcare, housing, and economic opportunity. Youth, trans people, and elders deserve safe schools, inclusive services, and dignity at every age.
