Thank you Amesh for bringing the article to everyone’s attention. As states the article, I have formally deposited my nomination papers to run for the District 1 City Council seat, this at the urging of many of my neighbors in Summer Hill, Observatory Hill, Perry Hill Top, and Troy Hill. Little did I know until recently that the efforts I have put forward in advancing community issues and attempting to maintain or improve the quality of life in the upper North Side has touch so many. Some of these actions include leading the fight against the relocation of a helicopter pad to our neighborhood, raising over 17,000$ for a family victim to a house fire, and co-organizing & moderating a debate between all the candidates running for the 20th District State Rep seat.
