Dear Friend,

Thank you for visiting my website. These are exciting times to be part of Manhattan's transformative struggles and achievements. As Borough President, I am working tirelessly to find creative solutions to some of our city's most pressing problems.

During my first two years in office, I revitalized Manhattan’s Community Boards, ensuring that every neighborhood has a voice in decisions that impact local residents' lives. In 2007, I launched Go Green East Harlem, a multi-faceted campaign to improve residents’ health, and to serve as a model for other environmentally neglected neighborhoods. Last year, the greening effort was expanded to the Lower East Side and Washington Heights.

Over the past year, I've taken the lead on exposing the dangerous neglect of elevator safety in New York City Housing Authority buildings, called for the MTA to repeal its proposed fare hike for disabled commuters who depend on Access-A-Ride, advocated for more aggressive construction of classroom space for Manhattan schools and demanded strengthened oversight of state-owned buildings to ensure they meet or exceed local building codes.

But there's a lot more to do!

Every day I have the privilege of witnessing first hand the positive impact government can have on people's lives when collaboration, inclusion and consensus drive us all towards the common good.

I am truly honored to be serving as Manhattan's 26th Borough President and grateful for your continued input and support. I hope you'll take the time to read some recent news articles on some of my work, check out our upcoming events , and subscribe to our email list so we can keep you posted. For more information on what my office is up to on a daily basis, please visit my government website at www.mbpo.org.

Sincerely,
