On The Issues

Education

As Counsel to Council Member Grodenchik, we have expanded three schools in the district- PS 26, 46, and Cardozo H.S. and the converted former Catholic schools at St. Robert Bellarmine Church into P.S. 390Q and Our Lady of Lourdes into a District 29 Pre-K Center.

Small Business

As a small business owner myself, I understand the struggle of owning a business in today’s economic climate. My brother Jeff has owned a local bagel store in the district for nearly three decades. Business, especially small business, is in my blood.
