We introduced a bill to restore year-round open dining and make it easier for restaraunts.
Outdoor dining was a silver lining of the pandemic, and New Yorkers want it back. We can simplify the process for restaurants to secure permits and give us more places to dine together.

We introduced legislation to ensure that when the City is installing 32-ft Link5G towers, they will be required to notify neighbors & solicit community input.
At the very minimum, neighbors deserve notice about what’s being built right outside their homes.

This once-rundown space at N. 4th St & N. 4th Pl is now a thriving pocket forest that will boost biodiversity, improve air quality, prevent flooding & beautify the neighborhood.

I loved joining @NY4ChildCare’s rally (with my little guy!) to demand more affordable childcare for working families!
The City Council took a first step on 2-Care this year with a small pilot and now we need to expand it to make sure all working families have access to universal child care!

The 2025 Mayor’s Management Report is clear: New Yorkers are paying the price for Eric Adams’ relentless austerity budgets. Spending cuts have deep, lasting consequences—and they’re exacerbated by the Mayor’s severe mismanagement of our City government.
