Public Safety

A safe city is fundamental to New Yorkers. Communities need fair and just policing.

We will:

  • Increase our police force
  • Enhance training to reduce injuries
  • Strengthen community relationships with the police
  • Ensure neighborhoods receive equal protection
  • Support our officers while maintaining high standards

Affordable Housing

New Yorkers deserve honesty and results—not empty promises. My centrist, common-sense housing plan will deliver over 50,000 units every year—not just 5,000—while respecting the unique needs of each borough. I’ll also explain exactly how we can pay for it. This isn’t about slogans; it’s about results. Together, we can create a New York that works for everyone.

I will build housing New Yorkers can actually afford—without pushing costs onto working-class communities in the outer boroughs. My plan is realistic, equitable, and built to deliver, not delay.

The current mayor’s ‘City of Yes’ plan has serious flaws and doesn’t effectively address our housing crisis. Here’s why:

  • It requires $5 billion funding the city doesn’t have.
  • It barely dents the housing shortage.
  • It unfairly pushes the burden to poorer boroughs.
  • It fails to address negligent landlords, especially in rent-stabilized properties, and doesn’t improve substandard units.
  • The development process for this plan may be illegal.

Economic Growth

New York City must support small businesses, attract new industries, and ensure job creation in all five boroughs.

We’ll harness the power of partnerships to:

  • Bring innovative venture capital and private equity funds
  • Accelerate affordable housing
  • Develop sustainable funding models for major initiatives
  • Leverage private sector expertise while protecting public interests
  • Drive economic growth that serves our communities

Fighting Corruption

Trust in government starts with transparency and rooting out waste and fraud. We will:

  • Implement a zero-tolerance policy for public corruption
  • Create clear accountability for all city agencies
  • Engage with media partners honestly and robustly
  • Make city operations and decision-making transparent
  • Ensure efficient spending of taxpayer dollars
  • Hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards

Empowering Workers

Every New Yorker deserves the dignity of a living wage with benefits. We will:

  • Launch dynamic partnerships to attract businesses to NYC through strategic incentives, with a focus on creating good-paying union jobs with benefits
  • Drive job creation across all five boroughs
  • Support and expand union workforce development programs
  • Create training programs aligned with growing industries
  • Support small businesses as engines of local employment
  • Partner with employers to create career advancement pathways

Get NYC Carbon Neutral

We can reduce emissions and invest in green infrastructure to make New York a healthier, more sustainable city.

A sustainable city is essential for our future. We will:

  • Expand and connect bike lanes to reduce car dependency
  • Invest in energy-efficient buildings and green infrastructure
  • Promote renewable energy projects across all boroughs
  • Enhance public transportation to lower emissions
  • Build public-private partnerships to accelerate carbon-neutral projects.
