Her policy priorities are truly affordable housing, Health Care for All, and ending education disparity through funding reform. Mary has prior experience with NYS Senate as former constituent liaison to Jessica Ramos, advocacy with Urban Health Plan and continuous progressive grassroots organizing since 2001.
