The story of this page

The Corruption must cease.

For the past ten years, I have tried to raise the alarm about corruption in the building where I live. At the time, Mark Levine was my City Council member.

Acting in good faith and trusting my local elected official, I even helped him get on the ballot for his re-election to the City Council. At the time, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It began innocently enough, but as I started describing the individuals and interests involved in our building, I could sense the politician shutting down.

Eventually, Mark Levine told me that if I was unhappy with my elected officials, I should run for office myself. I took that advice. I did run—and it has not been easy. Today, I am running for Congress. But this page is not about my candidacy.

This page exists so that you, the reader, can ask a simple and legitimate question of everyone involved in representing our district: What have you actually done for us?

All of the individuals listed here argue that they were elected by you. Yet, despite their influence, none appear willing to use their power to stop ongoing corruption.

To address this, I created a Google Groups mailing list that includes all candidates and elected officials—both for volunteer party positions and for public office—so that you and I can openly ask them how they plan to transform our neighborhoods: https://groups.google.com/g/ny13leaders2026. The official list of candidates running in New York’s 13th Congressional District will be published after January 1, 2026, and can be found here: https://guide.repmyblock.org.

Who’s Who: The True Influencers of NY-13

These people may answer any question by saying, “It’s not my district,” “It’s not my job,” or “I don’t have the power to do anything.”

Yet they do have the power to bring people into a room and take action—if they choose to.

Together, they control how government services are organized and delivered in our community. That is why it is important that everyone is asked the same questions, and that we, as voters, observe how they work together to make the decisions that affect our lives.
