I've worked on the urban agenda all my life. All. My. Life.

I've been not only articulating the dissatisfaction with Albany, I've been acting on it. I've been very aggressive in bringing public integrity cases and public corruption cases and bringing cases against sitting legislators

I believe global warming and climate change are real threats to our planet.

If there's a silver bullet in the battle to recapture Albany, it is the re-engagement of our citizens. This capital has become a physical metaphor for the isolation and alienation of our people.

I believe Wall Street needs serious ongoing regulation.

I'm in politics. I'm in government, so nothing surprises me

I believe public education is the new civil rights battle and I support charter schools.
