NYDIA, CAN WE DEBATE ONLINE?


I would like to challenge Rep. Nydia Velázquez to a social media debate. 

In light of her total apathy to debate the real issues that concern hundreds of thousands of constituents in the district she got elected to rightfully represent, I must turn to social media platforms to let our voters know where candidates stand on issues that affect us all.

We need to address education, school retention, unemployment, the economy, matters of interest to our small businesses, health and safety concerns for the 700,000 plus residents of the district.  I represent the new majority of NY7.  A majority that no longer wants to stay silent and take on all the costs, taxes, fines and burdens without the corresponding accountability from their elected leaders.

Voters are entitled to know the options they have to represent them in Congress. I want to challenge Nydia Velázquez to a sound debate on the issues that are pressing our community.  It’s the least our people deserve.

If she does not want to come to the district she represents and debate the issues, maybe she can do it online. Repeating the same old pointers from previous elections, ignoring local media and constituents, but spending money on publicity stunts is a total disregard of the responsibilities she swore to represent on behalf of the citizens at NY7.  I will make her accountable, I will be here for the district.
