Questions & Answers

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

1) Crime: Civil confinement for pedophiles and rapists; address quality of life issues. Taxes: Cap property taxes to keep seniors and families in Westchester. Education: Lift tax burden from Westchester homeowners.

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

2) Would such a commission truly be independent when political parties are responsible for appointing its members? The very nature of this commission would politicize the redistricting process.

3) A lifelong District resident and graduate of Westchester schools. I have advocated vigorously for children, families, elderly, needy and the business community as an attorney and public servant.
