Every priority below comes with specific, checkable commitments — not slogans.
01
Affordability & Property Taxes
Westchester households carry one of the heaviest property tax burdens in the country. Every county dollar should be justified, visible, and tied to a service residents can actually point to.
Line-by-line review of the county budget with plain-language summaries residents can read
Oppose new county fees that quietly shift costs onto working families and seniors
Push for shared services between the county and District 11 municipalities to cut duplication
Public safety is a basic promise of local government. That means well-supported first responders, real traffic and pedestrian safety near our schools, and a county that treats prevention as seriously as response.
Support staffing and training for police, fire and EMS across District 11
Traffic-calming and crosswalk upgrades near schools, parks and senior housing
Expand mental health and crisis response so officers are not the only option
Development should strengthen the neighborhoods it lands in. County incentives must come with clear commitments on local hiring, infrastructure and community benefit.
Tie county-backed incentives to measurable local hiring commitments
Invest in workforce training partnerships with local employers and unions
Ensure development projects fund the roads, sewers and schools they impact
Our commercial corridors in New Rochelle, Pelham and Pelham Manor are where neighbors meet. Small businesses need a county government that removes obstacles instead of adding them.
A single county point of contact to help owners navigate permits and programs
Simplify and speed up county-level licensing and inspections
Targeted grant and micro-loan access for minority- and women-owned businesses
Working families, young people and seniors are being priced out. We need housing that fits the character of our neighborhoods and is planned with residents rather than around them.
Support responsible housing that includes genuinely affordable units
Protect first-time buyers and long-time homeowners from being squeezed out
Require real community input before county support for major projects
Flooding, aging sewers and rough roads are not small problems — they are the daily experience of District 11. Infrastructure spending should be transparent, prioritized and finished on time.
Prioritize storm water and flood mitigation in chronically affected neighborhoods
A published county repair schedule so residents know what is coming and when
Pursue state and federal dollars aggressively for local projects
Residents deserve to know how their money is spent and to get a real answer when they call. Accountability is a process you build, not a slogan you repeat.
Plain-language budget summaries published for every major county appropriation
Published response-time standards for constituent casework
Monthly district office hours rotating between our three communities
