Shery Olivo is a dedicated community advocate, educator, and lifelong Bronx resident running for New York State Assembly in District 86 to bring honest leadership and real results to her community.
District 86 includes parts of the Bronx, such as University Heights, Morris Heights, Fordham, and Mount Hope.
She’s running to give working families, seniors, and youth a stronger voice in Albany — focusing on safety, education, affordable housing, and jobs that sustain families.
Her main priorities include improving public safety, expanding affordable housing, increasing access to quality education, supporting small businesses, and ensuring government accountability.
Shery has spent years working with local nonprofits and neighborhood programs that empower families, help at-risk youth, and provide resources for women and immigrants.
She advocates for stronger tenant protections, investment in public housing repairs, and the creation of more affordable units for working families.
Shery supports more funding for local schools, after-school programs, and initiatives that prepare students for college and careers, especially in underfunded neighborhoods.
She believes in community-based solutions — increasing neighborhood patrols, investing in youth programs, and building trust between residents and law enforcement.
Shery wants to reduce red tape for small businesses, provide local grants, and expand training programs for entrepreneurs, especially women- and minority-owned businesses.
