Nothing is more important to me than the quality of life in my district, and I am proud of the work I have done to improve infrastructure, preserve historic neighborhoods, fight for better zoning and create schools in my district. Whether working to create an academically rigorous public high school on the Upper East Side, seeking to restore the crumbling Queens seawall or fighting for a full build Second Avenue Subway, my first priority has always been to make my district a better place to live.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - "After weeks of "will he run" "won't he run" speculation, Mayor Giuliani's decision today will cause many people to finally exhale, especially the mayor!
