Campaign themes
2012
Sharon has stated, "For too long, Albany has taxed and spent, and placed the interest of the connected few ahead of the interest of the hard-working taxpayers. Instead of looking for real, sustainable solutions to fix the budget busting cost of medicaid and other mandates, Albany politicials have chose to to [sic] kick the can down the road and leave our children with a bankrupt future.
I will strive to solve the problems we face. All too often, when leaders of the State Assembly make decisions, they are more concerned with their next election. With your support in November, I assure you I will take your trust to Albany and give voice to your concerns and propose the necessary solutions no matter what political price I have to pay."[2]
