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?
One of the things I take pride in is supporting the public safety of Black Long Islanders, not only in the district in which I am running for office, but also being an advocate for minorities across Suffolk County. Being the only "No Vote" for the Suffolk County Police Reform Act set the course for positive things, but the most important outcome was implementing an additional investigator towards the act.
Is there anything else you'd like us to know about your campaign?
