Civil and Responsive Government

A big “thank you!” to the League of Women Voters!

One of the oldest and most respected civic organizations in New York – the League of Women Voters – hosted a lively debate on September 2nd.  

I was pleased to have another opportunity to talk about why government reform is so important – too many citizens do not have faith that the current City Council is ethical enough to handle the responsibility of running one of the most diverse cities in the world.  One City Council member has already resigned because of improper allocations of discretionary funds and it is likely that many other members will be exposed as investigations continue.

Citizens Union, the most respected government reform organization, has designated me as their preferred candidate in this race.

During the debate, I stayed focused on the issues and not on personal attacks.  I stated that you can tell a lot about a candidate by the way they run their campaign, and I am extremely proud of the way I have conducted mine.

It’s simple: I’ll look for solutions and listen to what you have to say, rather than wasting time and alienating constituents with petty arguments.

Civil and Responsive:  That’s the way I want to help lead, govern, and represent the people of Lower Manhattan.
