It’s official: every neighborhood and election district that I represent chose me to continue to be their voice on the City Council!

The needs across Upper Manhattan vary widely, but our values are a constant. Honored to be the candidate proven to stand up for everyone.

Yesterday, I was thrilled to join @NYCMayor Eric Adams and friends at Gracie Mansion for the Mayor’s Dominican Heritage Reception. It was a joyful celebration of the Dominican community’s enduring contributions to NYC and the rich Dominican culture thriving in our city 🇩🇴.
