about me
Rooted in the Community, Committed to Change
I am not a career politician nor do I want to be one. The current political landscape is ugly and full of hate, which is counterproductive if we are looking for a real change. The reason I am running to be the for the State Senatoris to break this long-standing pattern of empty promises and to give us a fighting chance to live comfortably in our community. I do not owe anyone anything which means I’ll be able to represent the 29th district honestly and with integrity which has not been the case in a long time. Bronx and East Harlem are facing a lot of the same issues and if we do not elect people with integrity we will continue to lose our communities and be forced out.
I was born in East Harlem and lived in New Metro Houses on First Avenue. My Mother Worked in Metropolitan Hospital. My father was born and raised in East Harlem living in Lexington Houses. My grandmother is from Lexington Housing. I played baseball with the East Harlem Little League and Boricua All-Star League. I went to Wagner Pool every summer. I marched in the Puerto Rican Day Parade. I went to the Children’s Aid Society. I went to the Boys Club on 111th Street. I went to elementary school a St. Francis Academy. I attended middle school at Leadership Village Academy which was located at P.S. 102 in Jefferson Houses and then moved to M045 in Wagner Houses.
