Maria Danzilo
For City Council – District 6
We can look to a brighter future if we listen to each other and work together as a community. I will work with all Upper West Side constituents and businesses big and small; together we will build a better future for the Upper West Side and New York City.
As a lawyer and life-long Upper West Sider with deep experience in both fighting for small businesses and collaborating with big tech, I will bring these skills to advocate for and protect our constituents every day.
My Vision for the UWS
2) An Education System that Works for Every Student. New York spends by far the most on education per student of any State in the US, and yet our schools continue to fail our students. We must do more to help our students achieve, not lower standards. Our schools must have the goal of preparing every student to fully participate in the workforces of the future.
3) Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Our City. Decades of failed policies to address the mental health needs of our city’s most at risk populations have led to a major crisis. As we face social isolation and increasing homelessness, the City must step up and ensure equitable access to mental health services for those who need them the most.
For our community to recover from the destabilizing and disruptive impact of Covid-19 we must restore our communities’ sense of safety and security. We will do this through investing in our small businesses, ensuring equal access to Mental Health resources, and bringing together all members of the community to help build the UWS back better.
Committed to listening and working with all Upper West Side constituents.
I am running because I see the potential for the UWS to unite and execute a plan to help the UWS bounce back stronger than ever…
