When in office, what will you do to reduce harm and ensure there is social and economic equity for Black Long Islanders? If you are an incumbent, what policies/initiatives/laws have you supported that do this?
As a local leader, my focus will be on making sure every community in Nassau County has access to the same opportunities to succeed. That means supporting policies that strengthen small businesses, improve access to good-paying jobs, and invest in youth programs that open doors for the next generation. I’ll also work to ensure that county resources are distributed fairly—whether it’s infrastructure improvements, workforce development, or public safety initiatives—so that historically underserved communities, including many Black Long Islanders, are not left behind. Equity isn’t about division; it’s about fairness and opportunity. My goal is to bring people together around solutions that help all our neighborhoods thrive.
