Let's Make The Bronx Stronger, Together

As a proud Afro-Dominican and longtime Bronx resident, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges our communities face every day.

Bronx Residents constantly face rising rents, housing insecurity, lack of economic opportunity, underfunded public resources, and concerns about safety and quality of life. 

Since taking office, I have worked every day to deliver meaningful results for the Bronx. I have delivered tangible results by securing $3 million for housing upgrades at Keith Plaza, $50,000 to strengthen community resources at Kelly Towers Senior Center, and fought for tax freezes for over 15,000 seniors in our community. Together with Governor Hochul, I secured an historic $140 million investment in St. Barnabas Hospital, which will focus on expanding space and improving patient care. I’ve also supported the redevelopment of the historic Kingsbridge Armory. The redevelopment, backed by a $215 million investment from local and federal stakeholders, is projected to generate $2.6 billion in economic impact, create over 3,000 construction jobs, and provide 360 permanent jobs.

From “No House to the Assembly House,” my mission has always remained the same: to fight for those too often left behind and help build a stronger, safer, and more equitable future for every family in our district.
