The Issues
Preserving Livable Neighborhoods
New York City has the power to preserve and strengthen the common quality of life of the neighborhoods we love. It's time we started to use it.
Keeping Housing Affordable for New Yorkers
I'm proud of my work to preserve and create affordable homes for New Yorkers. I can't wait to get to the City Council to do even more.
Standing Up for Public Education
As a public school parent, I see every day what makes a great school: small classes, an excellent principal, dedicated teachers, and active parents. Every child deserves no less.
Creating Good Jobs and a Fair Economy
I've been fighting to create good jobs in Brooklyn for more than a decade - and today that fight is more important than ever.
Creating a More Sustainable City
The importance of thinking globally and acting locally has never been more apparent. I want to apply my experience with sustainable development to build a greener future for our city.

Stop the MTA fare hike, and save our buses and subways
The MTA voted on March 25 to enact a massive fare hike and unacceptably deep cuts in service on subways and buses throughout our community - including to the B67, B69, B75, B77, B23, and the F train. There is another choice, but it calls for courageous action in Albany. Please join me in calling on State Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith to do the right thing.
Honor Julian Brennan’s Memory by Helping Build Schools in Afghanistan
Marine Lance Corporal Julian Brennan, who grew up on 15th Street in Park Slope, was 25 when he was killed in Afghanistan on January 24, 2009. In a remarkable act of compassion, his parents Bill and Thya Brennan are asking us to make contributions to the Central Asia Institute, which builds schools in Afghanistan.
