In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“The ultimate goal is trying to make life just better for people on Long Island.”
“I look at our children all the time that are trying to make a living and to go to school… they're getting priced off Long Island and no child should have to move because they can't afford to live.”
“I also look at both the military and the fire department; they lean a lot to the right There's a lot of Republicans in those environments and they're telling me constantly that I would be the first Democrat that they'd ever vote for. It's time to start building bridges, not walls.”
