Michaelle C. Solages, a fifth-term legislator, is a lifelong resident of Elmont. Assemblywoman Solages represents the communities of Valley Stream, North Valley Stream, Elmont, South Valley Stream, South Floral Park, Floral Park, the Village of Bellerose, Bellerose Terrace, North Woodmere, Stewart Manor, and sections of Franklin Square.
Michaelle was elected to represent the Twenty-second Assembly District in 2012 and is the first person of Haitian descent to be elected into the New York State Legislature.
Monique began her career in community service in 2005 when she helped form the East 29th Street and East 46th Street Block Associations. During this time, she also started a 24-hour day care center and joined the UFT, after learning of the lack of services and hearing the concern from parents struggling for child care.
As an activist and advocate, serving those within and beyond her community has always been at the core of her desire for civic engagement. In 2008, Monique co-founded East Flatbush Village, Inc. (EFV), a non-profit organization, to address the limited youth services in the community. Over the years, it has grown to include academic, financial literacy, cultural enrichment, community support and mental health programs. One important initiative, called E.N.O.U.G.H, was developed to combat the ongoing violence and gang activity suffered by the community by providing wrap around services to holistically take care of the entire family.
In an effort to bridge the gap and encourage relations between the police and the community, Monique spent time as a Civilian Advisor for the NYPD’s 67th Precinct Council, graduated from New York Police Department’s Civilian Academy and led the East Flatbush Alliance in the 67th, 69th and 70th Precinct.
Monique has always recognized the needs of the community and in turn continues to work tirelessly for families.
Throughout her career, she has been recognized for her community service and has received a plethora of awards including the Caribbean Life Impact 40 under 40 Award, New York City Council’s Shirley Chisholm Woman of Distinction Award, UFT School Safety Award and Sesame Flyers International Community Service Award. These accolades and all of the work she has done and continues to do proves that Monique is a true representation of the people of the 58th Assembly District.
