• "The key to building and sustaining a successful city is to support the people who live in it. By putting neighborhoods first, we can become the city we are capable of being. This is more than a political campaign, it is a movement to, among other things, expand pre-natal to age 8 programs that focus on the child's overall development; create small business incubators on major avenues; advocate for gang-injunctions against New Haven's most violent repeat offenders and expand youth programming opportunities. By joining our campaign, you join an inclusive movement to make a better New Haven."
  • "Politicians often say that young people are our future, but their actions tell another story entirely. For decades, my life's work has been about fundamentally improving the lives of young people in this city. Over the years, I have realized that the greatest gift a young person can have is that of a caring, loving community of adults. Our love for young people is best measured by our behaviors. Providing support to young people will take time, resources and commitment, but I believe in young people, and I believe in New Haven enough to know that we can do better with the right adult leadership."
