Where I Stand
PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST
- Fully support law enforcement and community policing
- Repeal reckless bail laws that return repeat offenders to the street
- Hold violent criminals accountable and invest in gang prevention
Law and order protects working families, seniors, and small businesses.
SCHOOL CHOICE & EDUCATION
- Expand vouchers so families can choose charter schools
- Ensure funding follows the student, not the system
- End one-size-fits-all education mandates from Albany
Every child deserves a quality education, regardless of ZIP code.
JOBS & ECONOMIC GROWTH
- Cut red tape and excessive regulations on small businesses
- Tax relief for working families and entrepreneurs
- Expand workforce training tied to skilled trades
Strong businesses create strong communities, not government programs.
HOUSING & FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
- Support first-time homebuyer programs and responsible development
- Fair, balanced housing laws for landlords and tenants
- Fight wasteful spending and oppose Albany tax hikes on families
Government should live within its means, just like families do.
