Here Is Where I Stand...
As a current town councilman in Colonie, I have a track record of helping deliver real results to improve infrastructure, affordability, and public safety in our communities. I want to continue to be a part of the solution by fighting for lower taxes, support for law enforcement and first responders, and a better quality of life for all the hardworking men and women in the 110th District.
Making New York
A More Affordable Place to Live, Work, and Play.
New York State faces a crisis of affordability driven by burdensome taxes and stifling regulations that are pushing families and businesses to leave in droves. With the highest taxes in the nation and regulatory hurdles that suffocate entrepreneurship, our state has become unaffordable for hardworking New Yorkers.
With your vote, I am committed to reversing this trend. We cannot afford to lose our residents and businesses to states with lower taxes and more business-friendly environments. It's time to enact policies that reduce taxes, streamline regulations, and encourage economic growth right here in New York.
We need to support our small businesses, the backbone of our economy, by cutting red tape and providing incentives for job creation. By lowering the cost of living and doing business, we can make New York a place where families thrive and businesses prosper.
Investing In Public Safety, Supporting Our Police.
Bail Reform and unlimited, unchecked illegal immigrant sanctuary have been a disaster. NYC has shipped these totally unvetted migrants into upstate communities like Colonie, who were not even warned and are not prepared to handle them. I am proud that we are one of the leading municipalities fighting back on this in court. Ending unconstitutional "sanctuary" policies is issue #1.
I am also dedicated to restoring accountability and balance in our criminal justice system. We must end the one-sided approach that ignores the concerns of law-abiding citizens, law enforcement, and victims. It's imperative to empower judges with the discretion to consider all factors, including public safety, when making bail decisions. I will fight against the overreach of single-party rule that prioritizes ideology over practical solutions. Together, we can implement reforms that uphold justice, protect our communities, and ensure that every New Yorker feels safe and secure in their homes.
Protecting Local Control and Ending Expensive State Mandates.
As a Town Councilman, I have witnessed firsthand the negative impacts that continuous, overreaching mandates from New York State have on our local communities. These mandates often come with exorbitant costs and administrative burdens that strain our local resources and disrupt our ability to govern effectively.
Local control is enshrined in our state constitution, reflecting the belief that the people closest to the issues are best suited to address them. Our local governments understand the unique needs and priorities of our communities far better than distant state officials. When Albany imposes one-size-fits-all mandates, it undermines this fundamental principle, leading to inefficient and often detrimental outcomes.
We need to stand together to protect our local autonomy and push back against these unnecessary and costly state directives. By doing so, we can ensure that our communities thrive under governance that truly understands and responds to their specific needs.
Putting Common Sense Over Politics!
In the Town of Colonie, we approach government from a non-political standpoint. If it rains on one of us, it rains on all of us. We seek solutions that address our community’s challenges in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Democrat, Republican, Independent—it doesn’t matter. What matters is finding the best way forward for our town.
Albany is in desperate need of some common sense and checks and balances. I pledge to be your tireless voice for the community, always putting common sense over politics. Together, we can ensure that our government works for all of us, not just for those with political power. Let's bring practical, community-focused solutions to the forefront and make District 110 a better place for everyone.
