Candidate Questionnaire Responses
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?
First and foremost recognize the real numbers indicating economic injury to the Black Long Island community. Enforce laws to support economic development as originally written to support marginalized groups. Increase access to government contracting opportunities through promotion and actively seeking to measure and diversify business relationships throughout the departments seeking products and services.
Is there anything else you'd like us to know about your campaign?
As a public servant in my community and aspiring to lead District 4, I bring my history and values to the Town Council to serve with full intent to uplift communities ignored politically, socially, and economically.
