Christopher Skelly is born and raised in Brooklyn. He has seen the decline in public safety not only in his district, but across the city. Understanding that current leadership has no interest in addressing the issues related to this rise in crime, the decision was made to enter the public sphere to speak out on the issues affecting us all.

As a Libertarian, Skelly values the individual's right to live their life as they see fit, as long as it does not interfere with the rights of other individuals. He believes that individuals are free to make choices for themselves, but must also accept responsibility for those choices.
