Platform and Priorities for the District

My main priority is to ensure a sustainable economy, implement climate solutions at a local, County and regional level, and to ensure access to affordable health care, housing, transportation and quality education for all.  That includes supporting local agriculture, ensuring the transition to a renewable energy economy with storage and efficiency, sound solid waste management and fair labor practices that guarantee a living wage and good benefits to our entire workforce. 

Special Message to Voters

I think it is very important to focus on creating collaborative solutions, which are based on the best science and economics available.  We also need to protect voters' rights and and prevent discrimination or unfair treatment of immigrants and others.  I support diversity, equity and inclusion for all.

Qualifications for Legislature
I bring international, federal, and local leadership experience across  public and private sectors and will serve our community with empathy,  energy, and expertise. I have led major initiatives supporting small  business growth, economic empowerment, women’s reproductive rights, and  HIV/AIDS prevention. I’ve built coalitions and partnerships at scale.  Over the past 20 years,  I’ve held leadership roles in public policy,  product management, and partnerships at companies including Intuit,  Stripe, and Wise. I run a consultancy advising entrepreneurs on building  products and scaling businesses. I serve on the Marbletown Democratic  Committee, where I co-chair the Communications Sub-Committee and lead  voter registration, GOTV events, and canvassing.

Platform and Priorities for the District

I’m ready to bring in a new generation of leadership to  ensure Ulster County is affordable, provides opportunity and economic  growth for everyone who lives here, and is a place that protects our  environment while investing in renewable energy for generations to come.  

With over $50 million of the County’s budget dependent  on at-risk federal funding—plus $2.4 billion going directly to our  people in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid— our community will  face much harsher challenges than we’re used to.  We need a new strong,  proven leader who will unite people, solve complex challenges and really  listen with empathy. 

We will:
- Increase affordable housing for homeowners and renters
- Advance economic development by supporting small businesses, farmers, and creatives
-  Protect our environment by investing in renewable energy, reducing  energy costs, and preparing for     climate disasters – and dealing with our  county’s urgent waste crisis
- Ensure access to quality healthcare and social services for those who need it most
- Improve the quality and reach of public transportation

Special Message to Voters

Through working across many public and private sectors, I’ve learned the  importance of results, empathy, and finding common ground. I will  advocate for our environment while also prioritizing the two biggest  issues we face: (1) the affordability crisis and (2) creating economic  opportunity. If you too believe in this future, please vote on June 24  for a new path forward at the Democratic Primary.

Other Important Topics 

This past February, I was officially endorsed by the Ulster County  Democratic Party by a supermajority of the vote over the incumbent. This  historic party endorsement signals it’s time to usher in a new  generation of leadership with energy, empathy, and experience to make  Ulster County more affordable, sustainable, and ready for the future.  Additional endorsements from the community are listed on my website.
