Families in Forest Hills, Rego Park, Middle Village, Kew Gardens, and Glendale rely on strong neighborhood public schools. Jonathan will fight in Albany for fair state funding to address overcrowded classrooms, modernize aging school facilities, and expand after-school programs that support working families.

District 28 residents value safe streets and clean, well-maintained communities. Jonathan will support commonsense public safety policies and advocate for state resources that strengthen infrastructure, improve traffic safety, and protect the quality of life that makes our neighborhoods strong.

Development should strengthen our neighborhoods — not strain them. We will push for infrastructure impact reviews before major rezonings, advocate for drainage and sewer upgrades where needed, and protect the character of residential blocks while planning for smart, sustainable growth.

Small businesses are the backbone of Forest Hills, Rego Park, Middle Village, Glendale, and Kew Gardens. We will work to streamline permitting processes, support cleaner and safer commercial corridors, and promote policies that reduce storefront vacancies and strengthen local commerce.

A fair community supports residents at every stage of life. We will expand senior programming and aging-in-place initiatives, strengthen youth mentorship and workforce partnerships, and improve access to city services so families and seniors can thrive.
