Today, I am honored to officially announce my candidacy for Public Advocate for New York City. This is not just a campaign—it is a movement built on the belief that New York City deserves leadership as dynamic and diverse as its people.
As a Marine, community leader, and dedicated public servant, I have spent my life fighting for the Bronx, for New York City, and for our country. My commitment to service, leadership, and accountability has prepared me to take on the critical role of Public Advocate and be the voice that New Yorkers deserve. My background, shaped by military service, nonprofit leadership, and hands-on political experience, equips me with the skills to hold city agencies accountable and address the pressing concerns of everyday New Yorkers.
New Yorkers are facing serious challenges—crime, rising costs, and a disconnect between leadership and the real needs of our communities. Too often, those in power serve entrenched interests rather than the people. I am stepping up to change that. My mission is to restore trust in government, ensure transparency, and fight for policies that make New York a safer, more livable city for all.
As Public Advocate, I will take the fight directly to City Hall—introducing and co-sponsoring legislation, providing critical oversight of city agencies, and ensuring that the voices of all New Yorkers are heard. I will not just listen to complaints about city services—I will act to fix them. My plan prioritizes accountability, transparency, and real solutions that improve the quality of life for every resident.
With your support, we will bring real change to City Hall. I invite all New Yorkers to stand with me, to demand better, and to be part of a movement that puts people first. The time for action is now. Let’s make New York City stronger, safer, and more accountable—together.
Thank you, and as always, God Bless America.
