WORKING HIS BELOVED QUEENS

Thank you so much for everything you've done to support my campaigns.  There has been much political activity in Queens recently, especially surrounding redistricting and the new lines.  I wanted to let you know that I have decided to seek re-election to the New York State Assembly.  I will continue to work on an aggressive legislative agenda, making a difference for hard working families, seniors, our youth and all New Yorkers.

I will also be supporting the candidacy of Assemblywoman Grace Meng for the open congressional seat in Queens.  Congressman Gary Ackerman, who will not be seeking re-election, was a true leader, ably serving constituents of Queens for over 30 years. I believe Assemblywoman Grace Meng will continue that tradition.  Grace is a wonderful person and skilled legislator who will be a strong voice for New York in Washington. 

My calling is to work in my beloved Queens representing the newly drawn 24^th Assembly district.  The area is a wonderful part of our great city and includes neighborhoods stretching from Eastern Queens to Richmond Hill.  And I know that if I run a strong campaign, with the help of people like you, I will be able to get out the vote and be able to be not only a strong advocate for the 24^th Assembly district but help others, like Grace Meng, get elected to Congress.
