Campaign themes
2016
Batrowny's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Jobs and Local Business We must continue toward a more worker and small business friendly climate in the upstate region. As the backbone of our rural economies, protecting the rights and benefits of organized labor members and working families is essential. Embracing new industries and technologies is a must. We will devote any and all available resources to finding these developing industries and research ways to bring them to the Southern Tier. Environmental Conservation We all love our great state. We need to do everything possible to protect our natural resources in the Southern Tier. As we move away from fossil fuels and other pollutants, we move toward a replenished, vibrant region and local economy. Our region is not a dump site for waste coming from outside the region. Southern Tier residents will continue to stand together and oppose energy extraction methods that carry large risk premiums. We will not compromise the condition of our land and water for future generations in the name of short term financial gains. Far too often we see the damaging effects of profits trumping everything. Women's Rights and Equality That's why we stand with women throughout the state in demanding unobstructed access to quality health care. The relationship between a woman and her physician should not be subject to government intrusion. Today, roughly 1 in every 3 business school graduates is a women. Yet our board rooms and executive positions don't reflect this reality. A major key to the revitalization of the Southern Tier will be empowering women at the top. We need to make resources more widely available for women to start and grow business. Establishing programs like Girl DevelopIT are very effective in helping women break the entry barriers in what are historically male dominated fields. One thing is clear: When we invest in the women of the Southern Tier, we're investing in a stronger, brighter Southern Tier. Ethics Reform and Political Corruption in Albany Year after year the machine in Albany manages to find itself atop the list of shame; the most corrupt state governments in the country. In recent months, we've seen the indictment and conviction of two of the most influential policy makers in the State. Recently, legislation was passed stripping the pensions of newly elected officials convicted of corruption and other crimes. While this is a necessary step, we have to do more. Far too often, the policy makers we put in office to serve our needs end up selling us out for the big check writers around the state. This campaign answers to no special interest or conglomerate, we are accountable only to the constituents of this Southern Tier.[6] |
