MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE!
To all the residents of South East Queens
We need a representative who will “Bring accountability back” to South East Queens. After ample prayers, reflection, and discussion with family, local community, and friends it was determined that I would run for City Council.
As you view our website you will see true advocacy. I am asking you to support my campaign to bring about change in our community. my platform is based on community needs:
The Challenges we face as a community are not being addressed. Our schools are not adequately educating our children. This is documented in School Digger data sources. Compare our local schools. (Math/Science Research/Technical Magnet High School) to schools in other districts. Additionally, we have a lack of affordable housing, more than our share of shelters, and higher property taxes than more affluent neighborhoods.

Quality after school experiences and re-entry programs for ex-offenders.
