Dear Friends,
I am excited to report that Emily's List has endorsed me for Queens Borough President! I am both thrilled and honored to have the endorsement of such a progressive, pro-choice organization that understands the value of having strong female leaders in every level of government.
Throughout my political career in the New York City Council as well as in the State Legislature, I have fought to uphold these same values. As a member of the New York State Assembly, I protected a women's right to choose and served as the Chair of the subcommittee on Urban Health. I continued that work during my time in the City Council and I look forward to contininuing that work at Borough Hall.
I look forward to working with Emily's List on critical issues of social justice, civil rights and economic opportunity, all of which have been and will continue to be a focus of my career in public service.
