My name is Ruka Anzai. I am a mother, immigrant, and IT professional who wants to live in a safe and prosperous New York.

Like millions of others, I came to this wonderful country in search of the American dream. I knew that if I worked hard and did right by others, I would be given the opportunity to create a successful life and a nice home to raise my family in.

Today, my son is a student in one of Nassau County's many excellent school districts. My family loves living here, where "neighbor" still means something.
