Q.) Why do you want to be a State Representative? A.) I want to be your next state representative because I will be a fighter for Senior Citizens, HOA/Condo Association Transparency, and an advocate against Antisemitism. The district needs new leadership to truly carry these issues forward and I am the best candidate for this. I’m young, energetic, and an oldy at heart, which is perfect for a district with the average age being 70. I want senior citizens to see a version of themselves in me when they were 22 and I hope to communicate this going into the election. I want to walk their shoes, their journey, and take it to Tallahassee. Q.) What makes you different from other candidates? A.) I’m not a politician, I do not come from a wealthy political family or anything political at all. I’m the great-grandson of indentured servants forcibly taken from India to work sugarcane farms in Guyana, South America. Just like in Jewish History, I understand the feeling of our ancestry being forcibly taken from the homeland and I hope to resonate these struggles with the voters. Q.) Can you tell us anything about the other candidates in your district? A.) My opponent overcome great struggles in her life and I absolutely sympathize with her for overcoming those struggles to become a state representative. It is a great accomplishment and I hope to accomplish the same as well. However, my opponent comes from a wealthy political family and is supported by strong special interests. I will challenge the establishment and bring change to our community. It is the only way in order to bring representation back to District 91: Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. Q.) What is your affiliation with the Republican Party? A.) Being as young as 22 and voting for the first time in the 2016 election, I do not have many affiliations with the Republican Party since I am starting out now. I do have a great relationship with Republican Chairman of Palm Beach County, Michael Barnett. He had faith in me and my campaign, always saying I’m more mature than most candidates he ever supported. He believes in me and I hope to inspire. Q.) Anything additional you'd care to add? A.) Having interned in Washington, D.C., at a nonprofit, an embassy, and an agency in the White House administration, I have learned the importance of the law. Although I grew up in South Florida and attended one of the most diverse schools in the country, prejudice and injustice always seemed to be existent, particularly for someone with an ethnic name and appearance. Rather than being resentful, the experience inspired me to run for office and advocate for others who have suffered injustices. My first Washington D.C. internship was at the nonprofit Ecological Society of America, a professional organization of scientists who advocate for environmental preservation. It was my utmost honor to complete my second internship experience at the Council on Environmental Quality, a division within the Executive Office of the President at the White House. I helped the administration streamline the environmental review process for major infrastructure projects. Subsequently, and with this experience under my belt, I contacted the Guyana Ambassador, the Honorable Dr. Riyad Insanally, who gave me the opportunity to conduct a research project for Guyana’s President, David Ganger, to move the country toward a green economy. While there, I prepared a successful presentation with the ambassador for funding from the World Wildlife Fund, the Andes Foundation, and the Smithsonian Institute. Thus, I was able to participate with the many sides involved in environmental policy, which included The White House, a foreign government, and a nonprofit organization.
