Gail Goode is a Brooklyn-based attorney who, for the past four years, served as a Deputy Borough Chief for Trials in the New York City Law Department, overseeing litigation in cases against the City of New York.
From 1992 to 2006, Gail served as Executive Agency Counsel for the New York City Transit Authority, handling several high-profile accident cases, and from 1986 to 1992, she was a prosecutor in the Office of the District Attorney for the Bronx, prosecuting career criminals and violent offenders.
Before going to the University of Bridgeport Law School for her JD, Gail worked on the factory floor at John Deere in Moline, Illinois as a production scheduler, helping to build combines and other farm equipment. She was born in New York City and grew up in the Bronx.
I believe it is time everyday people had a say about the way our country and our state is run. And I believe it is time for a change in the kinds of people we send to Washington to conduct the people’s business.
I aim to be a different kind of candidate, with a new set of priorities. As a former MTA official, I learned a lot about mass transit, and I believe it is critical to improving our economy, protecting our environment, and improving our quality of life – in New York state, and across the country. And, I have the expertise in this area to help promote transportation policies effectively.
I believe a committed investment in transportation infrastructure and alternative energy development is the key to creating jobs, new businesses, and sound forms of investment – one that will help lower the U.S. trade deficit, avoid further damage to the environment, and help our financial sector as well.
My goal is to be the kind of candidate Democratic voters can believe in — one whose political beliefs are reliable and not constantly shifting — and one who can really relate to the everyday lives of you, the people of New York.
