What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

I was born and raised on the North Shore, and am a proud 1st generation American. My parents, who migrated from West Africa, showed me what hard work and perseverance can accomplish. Unfortunately, that is not a reality for far to many. Unreliable public transportation, being priced out of a home, and deciding between quality health care and paying rent. As someone who was told that college was my only option to success, I fought against that narrative. After receiving my Masters in Public Policy, I founded a non-profit that works with our youth to ensure they know that college is not the only option, and encouraging the next generation to enter into apprenticeships and trade school can lead to a successful, financially well off life. We need leaders in Albany who will fight for our community and for our future. I’m ready for that fight.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

[the profile publisher] also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Charles Fall answered the following:

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

For far to long, the politics of Albany have failed the voters. The only way to enact meaningful legislative goals in Albany is to change Albany, and it starts from the ground up. As New York has continuously been rated as one of the most corrupt states year after year, something must be done. As a Member of the Assembly, I will hold my self, and my staff, to the highest ethical standard. That means ensuring the people of the North Shore of Staten Island know who I am meeting with, who is influencing me on legislative manners, and fighting backroom deals in Albany. Without the trust of the people, you cannot be an effective leader. I will fight every day to earn the trust of my constituents.[3]

What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?

As a life long Staten Islander, and a millennial, the main reason I am running is because there is to much at stake to stand idly by. There are issues in our community that have not been addressed for decades, and I believe that ushering in a new generation of leadership can change that. A transparent and accountable government is one that best serves the people, and that is my commitment to those of the 61st District if I am elected. Weather it’s transportation, health care, or election reform, leaders in Albany must have the political courage to fight the good fight and be a megaphone for the voiceless. As an Assembly Member, that will be my fight. Working tirelessly, every day, to give back to the community that has given me so much, and to a community that is long overdue for investment and attention.[3]
