NYC - Built For Everyone
“I've been solving problems for people to make their lives easier, from delivering transportation solutions, fixing broken systems, and working as an Apple Genius. I'm running for Congress to take those problem solving skills to Congress to make the lives of New Yorkers affordable and accessible while delivering justice and accountability in Washington"
PRIORITIES FOR ALL
H.E.A.T.E.D. OPTIMISM NOT JUST RIVALRY
HOUSING
* Unlock housing supply fast: Eliminate parking minimums and allow by-right residential conversion of parking lots, garages, 1–2 story retail, and storage facilities through automatic mixed-use zoning.
* Affordability with choice: When an apartment becomes vacant, owners can choose market-rate pricing or opt into voluntary affordability programs that keep units below market.
* Lower building costs: Adopt the global EN81 elevator standard nationwide to cut development and maintenance costs—especially for New York City high-rise housing.
* Expand homeownership: Create a national pathway for older rental buildings to convert into co-ops or condos, helping millions of renters build equity instead of remaining in a permanent rental class.
ENERGY
* Make solar cheaper now: Dramatically reduce tariffs on global solar panels and battery storage to expand access and lower costs.
* One national standard: Create a single nationwide permitting and technical standard for rooftop solar + building-based battery storage to cut delays and red tape.
* State control over offshore wind: Reduce federal agency interference and give states primary authority to manage offshore wind deployment.
* Make geothermal a mainstream NYC building tool: (1) aligning Local Law 97 compliance, NYSERDA + federal incentives, and streamlined drilling/permitting so projects pencil quickly, and (2) scaling “district geothermal” pilots—starting with public campuses like NYCHA, schools, and hospitals—so utilities can build neighborhood thermal networks while training a local workforce.
ACCESSIBILITY
* Universal coverage pathway: Deliver a clear, credible transition plan toward Universal Medicare Access.
* Strengthen ACA + expand options: Expand ACA marketplace subsidies and allow people to buy into state Medicaid programs.
* Lower drug prices through competition: Allow tariff-free importation of safe medications from trusted countries.
* Fix the doctor shortage: Expand residency slots and remove barriers for highly qualified international doctors to practice in the U.S.
TRANSPORTATION
* Build faster, safer, cheaper: Create strong federal oversight—potentially including an independent special master—to ensure MTA megaprojects are delivered on time, at lower cost, without sacrificing safety or quality.
* Autonomous tech with worker protection: Set national autonomous transportation rules that protect jobs and guarantee retraining + meaningful employment for displaced workers.
* Expand service and innovation: Increase funding for subways, buses, ferries, and trains—including demonstration tech like Maglev.
* Keep defense contractors out of transit: Ban defense contractors from providing critical transit system services.
EDUCONOMY
* Train the workforce we need: Major expansion of training for electricians, plumbers, welders, and infrastructure construction workers.
* Universal childcare and Pre-K: National expansion of early childcare and preschool access.
* Cut the cost of college: Let students complete the first year of college during senior year of high school.
* Free training for shortage careers: Make degrees and trade certifications tuition-free for fields facing labor shortages.
* Earn while you learn: Expand paid apprenticeship and public-private programs where students earn a living wage while completing a degree.
* A real living wage everywhere: Establish a permanent county-based living wage so full-time workers can support a family of four above the poverty line in their county.
DEMOCRACY
* Make voting easier: Move Election Day to Election Weekend and tie federal election funding to weekend elections.
* Better voting systems: Encourage Ranked Choice Voting or Scored Voting through federal funding in primaries and general elections.
* End minority rule: Eliminate the Electoral College and protect truly universal voting rights for every citizen.
* Direct Democracy: Enshrine a constitutional right to citizen-led democracy tools and participation.
* Reform presidential power: Require judicial review of pardons to prevent corruption and abuse.
* Depoliticize justice: Reduce political appointment power for key law enforcement roles and shift certain selections toward independent, court-driven processes.
* Fix representation: Expand the House and pursue structural Senate reforms so government reflects the people it serves.
