Early voting is underway at the polling site located in downtown Flushing on 133-01 41st Rd. During this stretch run before primaries on June 22, I have been bringing my campaign message directly to voters in Council District 20 across Flushing. If restoring public safety, restoring respect for law enforcement, and feeling safe walking in your own neighborhood is a top priority, I am the candidate that has consistently advocated for public safety as a top priority from Day One. That is why I am proud to have received endorsement from those who are at the front line of public safety, from ALL major NYC police unions: Police Benevolent Association (PBA), Detectives (DEA), Captains (CEA), Lieutenants (LBA), and Sergeants (SBA). If elected to represent Council District 20, I pledge that public safety will be a non-negotiable issue, and I will fight to restore the necessary budget and infrastructure for the NYPD to have adequate resources to protect our community from the rampant rise in crime. Public safety is not a political football to be thrown around. Protecting public safety from the “defund police” movement requires someone who will not give in to political interests on a national level.
Flushing is in my DNA. With 33 years of involvement in serving the most vulnerable populations in Flushing, I am the only candidate who can demonstrate a life-long commitment to the Flushing community. I have witnessed the growth of Flushing through the years. I know its potential. But the recent rise in crime and COVID-19 have really hurt Flushing, and I want to help our community regain its glory, to restart the engine of economic growth through small businesses and unyielding focus on public safety. I am running for NYC Council to represent District 20 because I believe in restoring the quality of life that our community deserves. Together, we will make Flushing better!
