1. What about your background would make you a good Assemblyperson? For the past 5 years or so, I worked as the chief of staff and then assistant corporation counsel for Mayor Ravi Bhalla. Among my responsibilities was serving as the lead negotiator, successfully securing the Union Dry Dock site for the purpose of protecting Hoboken's shoreline eco-system and uniting Hoboken's waterfront as a contiguous, public park. I also worked closely with the mayor, assisting him and other city officials on a proactive response to the COVID-19 pandemic-one that protected Hoboken's older and most vulnerable residents.
