As the representative of Brooklyn, I have the unique responsibility of faithfully presenting this diversity to the public - a privilege to say Our ability to bring together so many different ways of life and perspectives on the world gives us our strength. My mother represented our community on the City Council for decades before I followed in her footsteps to help build a new Brooklyn we could all take pride in without losing sight of what makes us different. My love for Brooklyn runs even deeper than my roots. The Brooklyn of today has a very different face, with new glass and brick complexes arising every day populated with fresh faces breathing new life into the borough, but the warm welcoming heart remains the same. I have watched as the Brooklyn I grew up in started to shrink, shift, and now slowly start to disappear. Less charitable onlookers and visitors to the New York area often considered Brooklyn little more than an afterthought - too dangerous to visit but too well known to ignore fully. When I was a child, Brooklyn had the reputation of a rough and tumble, working-class borough. I have lived in Brooklyn my entire life and I have grown and evolved with my district.
