Get StartedAs your Councilwoman, I’ll fight to fully fund the NYPD and protect qualified immunity, bring in new recruits, and make sure our officers can do their jobs without fear, because safe streets start with a strong, supported police force. Learn more
Helen proposes empowering judges to detain or strictly supervise those with serious felony histories, using tools like GPS monitoring or high-level oversight until their trial. That way, we preserve bail reform’s fairness for most people but close the loophole that lets repeat violent felons roam the streets ahead of court. Learn more
Our schools should be teaching reading, writing, math, and science — not Critical Race Theory or gender ideology. Parents are frustrated because kids are falling behind while schools focus on the wrong things. Learn more
Homelessness has become an industry unto itself, where nonprofits absorb billions in taxpayer funds while lacking salary transparency and accountability. The system is broken, and New Yorkers are paying the price. As your Councilwoman, I will fight to rebuild this system from the ground up, starting with payroll accountability and ensuring that resources actually help people off the streets and into stable housing. Learn more
Affordable housing should not mean lifelong dependency on government agencies like NYCHA. We must give renters a real stake in their communities. That means creating pathways to ownership, just like what was done with Lincoln Towers on the Upper West Side, where tenants were able to buy their homes and build equity. Learn more
While I am PRO IMMIGRATION, New York City must STOP serving as a sanctuary city for non-US citizens, which is draining our city of billions of dollars annually. As your Councilwoman, I will fight to restore fairness, prioritize law-abiding taxpaying New Yorkers, and ensure that legal immigration is always honored while illegal immigration is no longer rewarded. Learn more
It’s time for the city to prioritize people over fear and rebuild the civic connection between Chinatown and the heart of Lower Manhattan. As your next Councilwoman I will make this happen! Learn more
I will push for pocket parks, expanded tree cover, and community-designed green zones tailored to local needs; boosting health, social cohesion, and economic vitality. Learn more
That’s why I support Priscilla’s Law, which will require e-bikes and e-scooters to be registered with license plates, and I back the 15 mph speed limit. You can count on me to fight for strong enforcement so our streets are safe for all New Yorkers. Learn more
That’s why I support Penny’s Law which will hold negligent dog owners accountable, make it a crime to flee the scene of an animal attack, and enforce stricter penalties for repeat leash-law violations. These are common-sense steps to keep both people and pets safe. Learn more
Local Law 97 was passed with good intentions, but in reality it’s a crushing burden on building owners and residents across Lower Manhattan. The law demands massive and costly retrofits (often in the tens of millions per building, or tens of thousands of dollars per apartment), with penalties of 268 per metric ton of emissions over the limit, every single year. Learn more
I’m against Local Law 157 because it unfairly hits residents and landlords with high costs. It forces people to install pricey gas detectors, even though there haven’t been any deaths from kitchen gas leaks. To make matters worse, there’s only one company approved to sell these devices, which creates a monopoly and drives up prices without actually making us safer. Learn more
That kind of courage is what New York needs: less bureaucracy, more accountability, and a leaner government that respects every tax dollar. I will give New Yorkers relief from the crushing cost of living. Learn more
