Why are you running for Mayor?
Please cite your top three-five priorities should you be elected Mayor and why you believe they are priorities.
If elected, what (if anything) would you do differently versus your predecessor (or previous Mayors) and why?
What is your plan to help NYC recover from the economic crisis caused by Covid-19?
Describe how you’d effectively address police misconduct and brutality, particularly as it affects communities of color.
Describe your plan to address/reduce the NYPD budget while better ensuring public safety and meeting community needs?
What would you do to further LGBTQ+ rights, equity, and justice if elected Mayor?
Do you commit to retaining the New York City Unity Project (https://growingupnyc.cityofnewyork.us/generationnyc/topics/lgbtq/), the City’s first Mayoral-level effort to coordinate LGBTQ+ policy efforts across city agencies, and if so, what actions would you take to build upon or revise the project?
What would you do differently than your predecessor(s) to address New York City’s affordable housing crisis?
Relatedly, and keeping in mind the City’s legal and moral obligation to provide shelter, how would you improve shelter and services for New Yorkers experiencing homelessness, particularly as it relates to reducing the number in need of shelter?
Keeping in mind the specific needs of LGBTQ+ New Yorkers experiencing homelessness, will you commit to increasing capacity for clients (youth and adults) who require single room placement for reasons of health and safety including clients with mobility issues and/or who identify as TGNC (because placement in traditional single adult shelter may compromise their safety)?
Describe what you believe is meant by “gender equity” and what steps you’ve taken to date and will take if elected Mayor to support and further gender equity?
If elected, do you commit to using inclusive and gender neutral language in all official documents and press releases, and will you order city agencies to do the same?
How much money has your campaign raised to date and what are your key sources of support? Relatedly, are you rejecting contributions from specific sectors, such as lobbyists, real estate interests, pension fund managers, police unions, etc.?
Why do you want LID's endorsement? If LID endorses you do you commit to including that endorsement on your website, social media, and all campaign literature on which you list or make mention of endorsements?
