I’m excited and honored to work for the people New York as Director of State Operations. I’ve spent my career serving New Yorkers and I want to thank
@GovKathyHochul
for the opportunity to continue that service.
Now, let’s go get things done.

Secure bike parking is a critical yet scarce utility in NYC, but it shouldn’t be. We must expand bike parking to keep up with increasing need, particularly in low income neighborhoods and neighborhoods of color that have for far too long been neglected by our elected officials.

Clean streets are non-negotiable. Our budget is our values: when we scrimp on street cleaning, trash and recycling services, we are doing long term damage to New Yorkers and our city. As Mayor I will implement the programs that I know we need to get garbage off the curb.
