Latrice Walker  New York State Assembly District 55  Power Forward  https://www.facebook.com/WalkerforNY Party Enrolled In Democratic Top 3 Issues: NYCHA Repairs Advocacy for more resources Subpoena and investigatory powers Current Office New York Assembly Member 55th AD Previous Occupation(s) Attorney Education Pace Law School – JD, SUNY at Purchase – B.A. Organizational Affiliation Zeta Phi Beta, Progressive Democrats Political Association, Ocean Hill Brownsville of Young Professionals Prior Public Experience Counsel to Congresswoman Clarke, Progressive Democrats Political Association, Ocean Hill Brownsville of Young Professionals Candidate Statement As a community advocate and Assemblywoman, I have never hesitated to fight injustice wherever it may be. I am most proud of the NYS Assembly passing my bail reform bill, which will move our state toward a more intelligent, individualized system of pre-trial release, monitoring and, when necessary, detention. The bill will end the current monetary bail system, which has resulted in excessive pre-trial jailing of thousands of New Yorkers. I will work with Mayor de Blasio, or any elected official if the intention is to help the people of New York City. However, I will never hesitate to stand up to the Mayor and take him on whenever he neglects the needs of any community, or wherever I see the inhumane treatment of any group of New Yorkers.
