Campaign website
Maron's campaign website stated the following:
| " |
NYC is facing a public safety crisis. We must invest in law enforcement and build the relationship between police and the communities they serve. All citizens have the right to clean and safe streets and subways. We must address gun violence by arresting and prosecuting those that bring guns into our city and those that carry them illegally.
Every child has the right to an education. A right to read and do math at grade level and graduate from high school. And parents have the right to know what their kids are learning and should be able to choose the school that is best for their child. Parents should also have the right to have input into what their children are being taught in schools.
Small businesses in NYC were devastated by overly long and broad lockdowns. The cost of living in New York City is driving people from our communities. We need an all-of-government approach to ease the financial pain hard-working New York families are experiencing. We need responsible budgeting, sound fiscal policy and regulatory reform to make it easier to start and run a business in New York from our leaders in Washington, DC.
We need to simplify the tax code, restore full SALT deductions and support hard working New Yorkers. The removal of SALT deductions for New Yorkers was an economic blow that caused disproportionate pain to our state as compared to the country.
An honest cost benefit analysis of Covid mitigation strategies on our city’s economy, workforce, families, seniors and students shows us that the cost was staggeringly high, and the benefits too little. In the present we must end all restrictions on youth–from toddlers to teens–who face the lowest risk and highest restrictions and continue to invest in therapeutics and long-term care for those who need it.
Title IX is the landmark Civil Rights education legislation which guarantees equal opportunities to girls and women at federally-funded institutions. Girls and women’s sports must remain single sex. Women’s prison and domestic violence shelters must remain single sex.
As a long time supporter of lesbian and gay rights, I am proud to run for congress in a district that includes Stonewall. While serving on Community Board 2, I voted in support of the resolution to make Stonewall a federal historic monument and will continue to celebrate and stand with the lesbian and gay community of NYC.
The transgender community in New York is vibrant and all transgender individuals should have robust civil liberties protections including anti-discrimination measures in housing and employment law. Gender dysphoric youth and their families must have access to a full range of unencumbered mental health care to assist young people and their families in making thoughtful decisions about how to address their dysphoria.
Providing affordable, accessible health care to all Americans is crucial and improves our nation’s economic health. The Covid-19 pandemic made clear that we have more work to do to make sure all Americans have access to paid sick leave, affordable prescription drugs and the ability to visit a doctor when necessary.
We need to support ideas that keep us competitive, create jobs and improve American lives. In every industry there is an opportunity to inject technological innovation. But we need smart regulation without overburdening companies that create jobs with red tape.
Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East and a true, long-standing ally of the United States. I reject the BDS movement, the anti-semitism which informs it and condemn the violence it stokes towards the Jewish community in Israel, the United States and throughout the world.
The United States learned painful lessons from our long engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq. We can and should support democracy where it is sought. But our first responsibility is to protect our own nation, secure our borders and provide safety and prosperity for the American people. [2] |

I am a mom of four, a public defender, an elected Community Education Council Member, and a New Yorker. I am running to represent Lower Manhattan because we need strong, bold, common-sense leadership, now more than ever.
Through my over two decades as a public defender, I know how to stand up for others and make sure their voices are heard; their rights are protected; and their needs are met. As a member of the CEC, as well as, a founding member of educational advocacy organization PLACE NYC and civil rights organization FAIR, I know how to serve as a community advocate and achieve meaningful change. And as a mother, lifelong New Yorker, and active community member, I am invested in ensuring a full recovery and a bright future for Lower Manhattan and New York City.
On City Council, I would fight for safer, cleaner streets; excellent education for all students, and thriving small businesses. I would work to promote public dialogue and respectful community discussions around complex issues. Most importantly, I would bring back leadership that is bold, honest, and has integrity, so that all downtown residents can have faith in our city in the years to come.
- NYC needs clean, safe streets.
- NYC needs excellent schools for ALL students.
- NYC needs to support small businesses.
As a mom of public school children and as an education advocate, I am passionate about reforming our public schools. Our schools continually fail our children; with less than 50% of 3rd-8th graders able to read or write at grade level. The city must improve the academic performance of our schools to stop the exodus of parents and families from our city and protect the future of NYC’s children.
I am also committed to addressing the city’s public safety issues. The rise of violent crime over the past year is disturbing and undeniable. We must address this by adding more NYPD patrols in neighborhoods and funding a NYPD gun removal unit that uses effective policing to remove guns from offenders and save lives. Residents and tourists alike must feel safe on our streets for the city to recover.
Finally, I am passionate about bringing back small businesses. Small businesses, which account for half of NYC private sector employment, have taken an enormous blow during the pandemic. It is clear that we must rebuild our small businesses to bring back jobs and economic prosperity. Yet, NYS and NYC government actions have made it harder for small businesses to survive, not easier; small businesses face vast and prohibitive bureaucratic burdens and obstacles. To address this, we need to elect representatives who work with, not against, our local businesses.
I believe the New York City Council is a crucial institution because it wields enough power to enact meaningful change for NYC residents, but also is devoted to promoting local issues. As a city councilor, I would constantly seek advice and input from my constituents and neighbors. And now is the moment because New York is at a crossroads; facing a public health crisis, we are seeing rising crime and widespread flight from the city. The work of local government over the next couple of years is going to affect this city’s wellbeing for decades.
Hard work, honesty, transparency and a deep commitment to treating all people with kindness and dignity.
I believe I am uniquely qualified to represent my district because I am willing to stand up and fight for what we need right now. I bring leadership that is honest, has integrity, and is bold enough to fight for our neighborhoods. My priorities are simple, and yet crucial. We need safe, clean streets. We need excellent schools for all NYC students. And we need thriving small businesses. I believe that only I can help achieve these three critical goals.
There are many voters in our district who share my beliefs, concerns, and goals for the city. The neighbors that I talk to want safer streets, better schools, and thriving small businesses. They want parks and green spaces. They want to bring back public dialogue and respectful community discussions around complex issues. As I discuss these issues, my campaign is becoming known for my willingness to take on important but difficult problems. I am unique because of the open-minded way that I approach tough issues, which in turn is encouraging people to see that we can be brave in public spaces. We can care about things deeply, disagree, and still be neighbors who live in community together.
My first job out of college was working for the Randall’s Island Park Alliance in 1993.
Randall’s & Ward Island were underutilized parks in a city starved for enough park space. I was able to witness and be part of the early efforts to improve access, expand amenities and secure the kind of smart, ecological urban planning that is needed to preserve our parks and provide the active and passive recreation spaces that New Yorkers depend on.
I learned a lot in that position and take great pride in the successes of Randall’s Island park alliance since it has been a vehicle to provide open park space to so many New Yorkers.
My Antonia by Will Cather. It is a beautiful book about perseverance, strong women and true American values.
In general, I think many New Yorkers would struggle to define the role of city council member. The responsibilities associated with voting for the budget and land use decisions are often the most consequential. So, I would hope that this election is an opportunity for residents to get to know the role and how important it is to their day-to-day lives.
I believe it is beneficial to have life experiences, including a professional work history, that a member can draw upon to inform decision making. It can also be invaluable to have experience working within a community. These are often volunteer roles, but can greatly inform a potential candidate about key issues and how they would solve for these issues. Both of these, in combination, can be just as powerful as any past government experience.
I have represented individual clients as a public defender and I have represented and worked with a diverse constituency of parents as an elected Community Education Council parent. In both cases, it's been clear how critical it is to listen and come with an open mind to solving problems. If we are unable to listen to our community we can't hear and address the issues that matter most to them. Working collaboratively to find solutions that satisfy a broad array of concerns is a vital skill for any elected office.
