WHY I'M
RUNNING
I am running for Westchester County Legislator, District 5, because I believe in the power of community and the importance of accessible, inclusive leadership. From White Plains to West Harrison and Scarsdale, this district embodies the best of Westchester: vibrant neighborhoods, diverse voices, and incredible potential.
As a member of the Westchester County Board of Legislators Labor and Human Rights Committee since 2018, I advocated to help pass impactful legislation like the Earned Sick Leave law, the Wage Theft (No Pay, No Way) Bill, the Immigration Protection Act, and the Displaced Worker Act. These achievements remind me that when we prioritize people and work together, we can create meaningful change.
