Questions & Answers

1. What are the three major issues you would address immediately if elected?

Election reform, so that more people can participate as candidates; eminent domain, government shouldn't take a person's home away for developers, and legal equality for all legal New Yorkers.

2. What is your opinion regarding the formation of an independent redistricting commission?

Similar to what Arizona did in 2000, we too can set up an independent redistricting commission. It should be bi-partisan so that no one party is favored.

3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?

I believe I can bring fresh ideas to change the New York Assembly. I also believe the state legislature should be more transparent to the public and more accountable to its constituents.
