2017
Cohen provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:
| “ |
I have accomplished a lot in my 1st term but there is much more to do. I have focused on quality of life issues in the district such as new stop signs, traffic lights and more trash pickups. From housing and immigration issues to pot holes and noise; people have received the constituent services that they need and expect. Each of the last four City budgets has contained millions of dollars for our schools, parks, roads, City Hospitals and local organizations. I have passed over a dozen pieces of legislation including a resolution condemning the Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel movement. As the Chair of the Committee on Mental Health, I have been dealing with some of the most serious issues facing our City. Four years ago I promised to represent every corner of the District and that is exactly what I have done. Whether it’s an addition on P.S. 19 for Woodlawn, a new playground in Wakefield, a Skate Park in Norwood or millions of dollars for Van Cortlandt Park, I have kept my promise.[5][6] |
