Serrano's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[3]
Economic Justice
- Excerpt: "The heart of the problem is a regressive property tax system that disproportionately affects middle-income families, the unemployed, and the elderly. We need to replace that system with a progressive income tax, based on ability to pay. At the same time, we must strengthen the rungs of opportunity into the middle class by reducing ever-increasing tuition in the SUNY system, and creating a livable minimum wage that promises hope, not poverty."
Women’s Equality
- Excerpt: "Last year, the New York State Legislature failed to pass a ten-point plan to empower women across New York State by combating employment discrimination, strengthening laws against workplace sexual harassment, and guaranteeing women’s reproductive rights. In Albany, I will push aggressively for this very important legislation."
Ethics Reform
- Excerpt: "We need to restrict the power of wealth in Albany, and restore a strong voice to ordinary citizens by public financing of state elections. This way, our elected officials will be accountable to voters, not donors."
Protecting our Environment
- Excerpt: "My position on hydro-fracking is that until companies which wish to hydro-frack disclose the full range of chemicals which hydro-fracking requires, I will stand against a practice that endangers our aquifers, rivers, air and health. These precious resources are too great to risk."
- Excerpt: "In Albany, I will push for investment in clean energy, such as wind and solar, and to vigorously preserve our forests and state parks."
