On the Issues

Education

As the mother of two who spent their lives in Queens public schools, Elizabeth understands no issue is more important than fighting for improved educational opportunities for our children.

Safety

Driven by division and hatred, we have seen a surge in bias-related crimes in our city and country. As borough president, Elizabeth will act proactively to open dialogues amongst our communities and stem the rise of racism and bigotry in our great borough.

Transit

For far too long, Queens has not received its fair share of transportation funding. That’s why we must fight for a 21st-century transit system that works for everyone in our borough.

Environment

Queens is a beautiful place with precious resources—particularly our people and our environment. Elizabeth is determined to fight for both, making sure our water and air are safe for generations of our borough’s residents to come.

Empowering Women

When Elizabeth was only seven years old, her father passed away, leaving her mother to care for her and her fourteen siblings. As the single mother of two herself, Elizabeth knows the challenges facing working women throughout Queens and New York City.

Housing

It’s clear that that Mayor De Blasio’s housing policies have failed Queens residents.

Veterans

If you make the sacrifice to serve in our nation’s armed forces, you deserve our gratitude but also the ability to live a healthy and prosperous life after you return.

Post-COVID Recovery

We need a borough president with the experience and ideas to accelerate our recovery.
