Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Gregory's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Social Security: Social Security is a sacred promise, made to those to who spent their entire lives working to build this country. Unfortunately, politicians in Washington, D.C., are trying to undermine that promise as we speak. They would cut Social Security and privatize it, forcing seniors to risk their retirement savings on the stock market.
  • Medicare: Like Social Security, the Medicare guarantee is a promise made to seniors that they would not be forced to choose between paying their medical bills and staying in their homes or having food to eat. Over 50 million Americans and 3 million New Yorkers rely on Medicare, receiving benefits they’ve paid into their entire lives. Just like Social Security, however, those benefits are under attack like never before.
  • Fiscal Responsibility: Here in Suffolk County, we’ve held the line on property taxes, balanced three consecutive budgets, cut spending and reduced the deficit by working together. Unfortunately, Congress would rather play politics and bicker than produce meaningful results. The gridlock in Washington has forced our deficit to balloon out of control. Washington needs to learn that we can’t just keep kicking the can down the road.
  • Immigration: In America we fix what’s broken, and there can be no question that our immigration system has been broken for a long time. Two years ago, a bipartisan group of Senators came together to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would secure America’s borders and provide a pathway to citizenship for those who work hard, pay their taxes, learn the language, and have no criminal background. Unfortunately, immigration reform has been stalled by Members of Congress who would rather score political points than take real action.
  • Education: For so many in this country, a good education is the cornerstone for success in life. It was for me, and we owe it to our kids to ensure they, too, have access to a world-class education.
