Abigail is Dedicated to Strengthening Democracy and Engaging Voters
At a time when the integrity of our democracy is being tested, Abigail knows it is more important than ever to have strong, bridge-builders in leadership roles who have the energy and commitment to engage every community.
In the northwest Bronx, fewer than 50% of eligible voters vote in local elections. Democracy only works when everyone has a voice, and Abigail is committed to addressing voter apathy and expanding the electorate. With so many critical elections ahead, it is now more important than ever to engage voters and to address the issues that lead to low voter turnout.
As District Leader, Abigail is using her voice to advocate
for reforms that will increase participation and
make our democracy more responsive to the people.
