New York City is the greatest city in the world. We’ve faced 9/11, the recession, and COVID—yet we keep going. Excelsior means ‘ever upward,’ and that’s exactly where we must take our city. But survival isn’t enough—we need real innovation, smart decisions, and data-driven solutions to build a better NYC.

​

Mental Health: A City That Cares - 

Expand access to affordable therapy, crisis response teams, and school-based mental health programs. Invest in resources that help New Yorkers navigate the stress of city life and ensure mental health care is treated as a priority, not a privilege.

Education System - Introduce career-focused programs, financial literacy, and hands-on learning to prepare students for real job opportunities. Redirect wasted funds into classrooms to strengthen public schools and ensure every student has a path to success.

Crime Prevention -

 Focus on smart, community-based policing, expand after-school and summer programs to keep youth engaged, and ensure officers receive proper support and accountability. Crime prevention should start with opportunity, not just enforcement.

Affordable Housing - Crack down on predatory landlords, expand rent assistance programs, and invest in more middle-class and low-income housing. New Yorkers shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table.

Public Transportation - Develop an Interborough Transit Line to connect outer boroughs without needing to go through Manhattan. Expand ferry access for low-income neighborhoods to provide affordable alternatives to overcrowded subways. Introduce ferry-to-airport connections to reduce congestion and improve transit options for travelers. A modern NYC needs a more efficient, affordable, and accessible transit system.

Small & Large Business – Make NYC a global hub for high-tech industries, health innovation, and smart city solutions by attracting both local and international businesses. Cut unnecessary regulations for small businesses while bringing cutting-edge companies to invest in NYC. Foster innovation competitions to support game-changing urban technology that improves daily life for New Yorkers.

Let’s innovate NYC—together.
