Every New Yorker deserves somewhere to call home. That’s why I support property tax reform that will keep seniors and families in their homes, investments in permanent affordable housing, and Just Cause tenant protections. That’s why I support:

• S2892B to prohibit eviction without just cause
• S4599 which provides property tax relief to seniors
• The Housing Access Voucher Program
• S1434A provides a personal income tax credit to property owners who pay disproportionately high property taxes in relation to their income.

Public education must be seen as a cornerstone for economic development. That’s why I support the constitutional requirement for the state to provide funding to our City schools, comprehensive universal childcare and ensuring that public universities are accessible to all New Yorkers regardless of income. That’s why I support:

• S7595 to provide universal child care across New York State
• S4461A to provide additional resources to CUNY
• S5635 to provide free public education to City and State Workers

Four of my children have IEP’s and my life’s work has been in the service of accessibility for all. No matter who you are, no matter what barriers you might face you deserve access to transportation, healthcare, education and your elected officials. That’s why I support: 

• S5092 to make paratransit more accessible
• S5474 to create a New York State Single Payer Health Plan
• S8288 to create a chief disability officer to ensure all New Yorkers can exercise their rights.
