I have the drive, experience, and proven track record to take bold, decisive action and bring about the results our City needs right now. I have worked in Education and Education Policy for over a decade, and I have also worked in the nonprofit, private, and public sector. My husband and I are raising our children in New York, and we are very grateful for all the opportunities we have had here. Since education was my passport to a better life, I have worked nonstop to deliver quality education for low income children in the City. I even co founded a public charter school in Sunset Park for children who speak English as a second language. I intend to continue delivering results to New York families, while also working to improve public safety and the economy.

Public safety, education, and economy

I am focused on changing bail reform, while also supporting the NYPD.

Some measures in the law need to be changed, including dangerousness, since it is key to keeping violent criminals and repeat offenders off the streets.

Yes, I support changes to raise the age, since families and children alike are not feeling safe in school, and I believe minors who commit violent crimes should not endanger their peers in school.

I do not support exclusions and I certainly do not support “clean slate”. I believe these types of offenders are benefitting from bail reform and are the ones causing the most public safety concerns.

No, I do not believe it should close down. Whoever is deemed a threat to public safety cannot go free until trial. I do believe some conditions in the facilities can and should be improved.

I believe in immunization but I am against mandates for Covid vaccines.

Yes, and it is one of the first changes I want to make, since homeless shelters are necessary, but are not executing the way they were meant to, although they are spending six figures per homeless person.

No, we need to work with other jurisdictions so that we keep a control on our homeless, and better yet, help them get to a place where they can be self sufficient.

I think we need to evaluate how the organizations that are managing shelters are using state money and judging by the amount they receive, I am certain that it should be required.

I would support this bill for public safety purposes and also, for the own shelter residents’ wellbeing.

Because of the amount of risk that the city represents for them, they are better off outside of it, but I do not believe relocation should be imposed especially if they have always lived in the city.

Yes, since it can help those who may not have family support to undergo assisted outpatient treatment and it also contributes to public safety.

Yes, if we are referring to serious mental illness, then we are talking about issues that can have serious repercussions, for the patient, their loved ones, and anyone who comes close to them.

Not in hospitals, but in a different inpatient program with strong oversight so we can ensure public funds are being properly used.

I think they should get vaccinated, I do not think they should be required to since I don’t believe in mandates for covid vaccines, and other measures can be taken to ensure everyone is safe.

No, unless we are referring to hospitals, and senior nursing homes, or populations that are at greater risk, there should not be universal mandates, every business should have their own policy.

No, I believe government should approve programs that best serve patients according to their benefits and options.

Yes, I believe in mayoral control since it is the best type of oversight we’ve seen for schools in the past.

Yes, I believe it brings opportunity to children from low income families that qualify and also sets a higher standard that allows us to compete, plus it makes gifted and talented students explore their full potential.

No, I advocated against and I have many press appearances that prove it. The infection rate in children is very low and it also impairs their learning, particularly when it comes to reading and speech.

We need to bring back school safety agents and despite what some may think, families in disadvantaged areas have asked for their return, even citing some incidents started between the students.

While there is a teacher shortage, we need to focus on their quality and not the quantity. We need more devoted teachers and we also need to use the budget correctly depending on the amount of students.

There should be more school choice option available to fit each individual family’s needs. Parents should always have the final say in their children’s education.

Yes they should, since it creates an atmosphere in which students see that every adult in their lived is committed to their learning.

No, I believe History and the past injustices in this country should be taught, but not in a way where children think their race will determine who they are.

Sexual education should be taught in all schools as long as it is age appropriate, and also Health courses should be focused on highlighting the importance of respect regardless of sexual orientation. It should start in fourth grade.

No, I do not support it, because it affects small property owners, who are mostly immigrants and minorities.

Eliminating good cause eviction and establishing taxes according to their earnings, we cannot expect them to pay the same taxes as big developers.

Yes, since it is crucial to public safety, and it is something that is up to each landlord’s discretion.

Not when it comes to private housing, since it creates a disadvantage for the people who really struggle to pay rent, plus it takes away private owners’ discretion.

I think it’s important to have a talk about congestion pricing since too many cars on the streets affect Manhattan residents but it also wouldn’t be fair to set high congestion prices to the people who need to work here. Companies should also be able to provide compensation to employees who pay congestion pricing, a similar benefit such as transit checks.

Everyone needs to be accountable, including bicyclists.

Yes, to make them just as accountable as a regular driver, since they need to heed transit laws and we need to watch out for pedestrians’ safety.

We need to regulate the more residential areas, and be more flexible on commercial areas such as Midtown. However there should be a set of rules for every district, be it commercial or residential.

No, but speed limits and other regulations are very important.

I am pro choice personally

I support same sex marriage and will continue to do so.

This is my first time running for office, so I haven’t had the opportunity.

No, I have not.

I watched one with my son three years ago, in 2019.

I have attended at least three demonstrations asking to change bail reform.

No, I do not.

Not for the ones managing schools, but I would support eliminating public finance for others. I would listen to my constituents before considering proposing it.

Anyone who shows deep commitment to working with communities can be on my team, including members of LGBTQ communities.

Yes, anyone willing to work for our district is welcome to work in my team.

I support it, every tax paying citizen, who is over 18 should marry anyone they choose, and have the same rights.

A legal path to citizenship, a way to speed up the process but within legal means, not illegal.

I would accept donations from individuals and PAC’s, as long as they all know, understand, agree, and support my platform.

Yes, two sons.

I advocate for a path to citizenship so that more immigrants can vote and live here.

We do not need to raise taxes right now, especially with inflation, we need to use our state budget correctly, and we need to keep out tax base in New York, not push them out.

a)Eric Adams b)Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden c)Tom Suozzi and Diana Reyna

Yes.

Yes.
