I’m running to lead Brooklyn with the same passion and purpose that helped reduce gun violence and bring real change to our neighborhoods. I’ve walked the same streets, faced the same struggles, and dedicated my life to building safer, stronger communities. As Borough President, I’ll fight for public safety that uplifts—not punishes—our people, invest in youth engagement, and make sure every voice in Brooklyn is heard. We don’t need politics as usual—we need leadership that understands, and that delivers.
