Our country is at a crossroads right now, and the politicians who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones who fix it. Throughout my career I was called upon to solve the toughest problems. And that’s why I’m running for Congress – to help fix a broken system and fight for a better future that New Yorkers, and all Americans, deserve.
