“Because no matter what you eat, how you pray, or where you come from, the words that most define us are the two we all New Yorkers. And it will be New Yorkers who reform a long broken property tax system.

New Yorkers who will take on the bad landlords who mistreat their tenants and free small business owners from the shackles of bloated bureaucracy.” (15:02–15:13)
