Why are you seeking elective office?
I am running for City Council because our political leadership has failed Harlem, has failed Manhattan, and failed New York City. Our City Council can certainly talk the talk, but it fails to walk the walk with meaningful progressive change. My Kristin for H.A.R.L.E.M. platform outlines the necessary change that our communities have been asking for, but has fallen on deaf ears. I am interested in representing my district because I grew from the movement space, and because it s about time that the movement is represented in City Hall.
