WHY I'M RUNNING

Amoy Barnes has called Staten Island home since she was four years old. Her mother, like many before her, took a leap of faith with Amoy and immigrated to America. She believed in the promise of a better future and the limitless opportunities of the American dream. Amoy’s mother worked two jobs to provide a stable home. Watching her mother work hard instilled a sense of discipline, fidelity, and a stellar work ethic that would be the driving force behind Amoy’s past, present and future success.
