Candidate for
Democratic Party Central Committee; Assembly District 12

I believe that my experience and expertise would be of significant value to the work of the Central Committee. In my view, the major issues facing the City and the Central Committee are promoting inclusiveness and enhancing diversity. I have been an active sociologist whose career has been devoted to teaching, researching and writing about social problems (viz., Physical and Mental Health, Sex-Related Social Problems, Alcohol and Other Drugs, Crime and Criminals, Violence, Poverty and Affluence, Prejudice and Discrimination, Sex Roles and Inequality, Aging, The Changing Family, Problems of Education, Problems of Work and the Economy, Urban Problems, Population and Immigration, Technology and the Environment, and War and Terrorism). These problems are interconnected and relate, in many ways, to inclusiveness and diversity.
