Mathylde Frontus – Very Impressive – Bay Ridge
Bay Ridge had a chance to hear from Dr. Mathylde Frontus at the Fort Hamilton Senior Center today. Dr. Frontus, a graduate of Harvard University is running to be our Assemblywoman. For decades she has been a leader and community organizer. Now she is running for Assemblywoman for South Brooklyn!
At the Candidate’s Forum today she discussed how Senior Citizens should be given Metrocards because she has seen seniors asking for free swipes in the train stations. I’m surprised that no other leader has moved on this for our community before this. I am glad to see Dr. Frontus has a vision for helping senior citizens immediately when she gets into office. It seems like such a simple thing – I am surprised no lawmaker from this community has taken care of it.
This is not Dr. Mathylde Frontus’ first time with trying to meet the community’s need. She had done outreach for Veteran’s in Coney Island. Dr. Frontus has made Seniors a priority and has vowed to fight to protect and augment funding for vital senior programs and services such as Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) centers, Senior Citizen Home Owner Exemption (SCHE) and Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE).
Hugs,
