OUR PRIORITIES
Real solutions for the challenges New Yorkers face every day.

PUBLIC SAFETY:
 

  • Hire 10,000 new NYPD officers and deploy a grid patrol model for stronger, community-based policing.

 

  • Partner with federal agencies to dismantle organized crime networks, stop gun trafficking, and root out political corruption.
     

  • Expand mobile crisis response teams and leverage AI-driven emergency technology to improve 911 response times and outcomes.


AFFORDABILITY:
 

  • Add 132,000 housing units in 24 months by unlocking vacant rent-stabilized apartments, converting unused office space, and fast-tracking new construction to raise NYC’s vacancy rate to 7% and lower rents.
     

  • Convert empty commercial properties into permanent, affordable housing — revitalizing neighborhoods and reducing homelessness.
     

TECHNOLOGY:
 

  • Launch Smart NYC: a citywide AI-powered infrastructure and safety platform.
     

  • Use real-time data to improve trash collection, traffic flow, emergency response, and quality of life in every borough.
     

  • Reduce violent crime by up to 40%, traffic congestion by 25%, and emergency response time by over 50% through tech-powered efficiency.
     

EDUCATION:
 

  • Reform the $41 billion DOE budget to raise teacher pay and redirect resources into classrooms, not bureaucracy.
     

  • Expand charter schools and education vouchers — while removing unqualified or failing educators.
     

  • Bring AI into NYC classrooms to modernize learning and prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.
     

MENTAL HEALTH:
 

  • Build 5,000 transitional mental health units aboard a docked cruise ship in Harlem, offering treatment, job training, and a pipeline to permanent housing.
     

  • Increase access to long-term care through public-private partnerships.
     

  • Lead with compassion by supporting recovery-focused, community-based care over incarceration and neglect.
