- I will fight for Community Safety and Improved Infrastructure for my District adn State.

- I will fight for valuable and comprehensive community programs for at-risk youth and the elderly.
After becoming a champion boxer I didn't stop fighting. Upon retirement from boxing, I redirected my inner fight instinct to fight for the underdog & people who have had their voices taken away. Before deciding to run for office, I spent years as a relentless activist for victims of political persecution, victims of Lockdown mandates, the vaccine injured & Medical Freedom. I fought for the morbidly obese with my organization “Knockout Obesity Foundation”. For years I had spent my time running community programs for at-risk youth in lower income areas of New York. I taught kids a fighter’s mentality, boxing, how to live a healthy lifestyle & to fight for what is important.
As Assemblywoman, the first piece of legislation I will write & propose will be a bill that guarantees families will never be locked out of a nursing home or hospital again as they were in NYS during the Covid-Era, no matter what the circumstances or if there is another future “lockdown”. I will fight so the Government can never again take away your right to be with your dying family member or stop your from properly mourning at a funeral.
Remember, New York is the testing ground for the rest of the Country. If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere.
Let me fight for you.
