Make Long Island safer and more affordable by repealing the current Bail Reform and Pro criminal Laws that allow repeat violent career criminals to roam our communities unchallenged. A common sense approach is needed to propose, enact, and enforce the laws needed to keep these Predators away from our homes, schools and businesses. The same stance must be taken to protect crime victims rights by repealing the current laws as they pertain to Discovery. The fact that a criminal accused of a serious sexual crimes, can now come to a victims home in search of discovery is appalling.
- Reverse the sanctuary funding schemes that has handed out over 2.4 billion dollars of state funds to illegal migrants. This one-sided plan has totally abandoned the rule of law and made our communities unsafe. Albany continues to hemorrhage these funds while totally disregarding the right of our veterans, seniors, and homeless residents. The rights of nm our citizens should never come after the imposed right of people who enter our country illegally.
- Strengthen our schools and parental rights by ensuring our communities receive their fair share of State aid. We must work together to prevent Albany and New York City from forcing their political and Social agendas onto us and into our classrooms.
Safety, Economic stability, the retentions of small and big business, and policies that address drug abuse issues on Long Island and across our country. The current fentanyl crisis continues to claim the lives of our youth at an alarming rate.
Politically I answered in the previous questions.
personally my Dad and my Uncles. My dad who provided the role model of being a hard working (two or three jobs at once) and provided the foundation for me to follow in his footsteps in the NYPD . My Uncle Frankie who provided the foundation for me to become an auto mechanic while understanding what it was like to work in a family business. Both my father and my uncles who served in World War 2 and were responsible for my desire to serve my community and be proud and grateful to live in the greatest country ever. Proud and free
Common Sense by Thomas Paine. Written in 1776 and still applies to us as a country and society today. When everything seems so confusing and political views are so extreme and off base, we need to rely on the common sense approach to find the common ground we need to accomplish what is best for us as a whole.
Elected officials must keep honesty and integrity at the top of the must have list. Too many voters distrust elected officials because they fail to keep an open dialogue with them.Transparency and accountability are key factors to achieving and maintaining public trust. Voters need to have clarity on the issues that face them individually and as a community. Elected official should make every attempt to personally address issues within their given areas.
My commitment to public service combined with my desire to keep serving in a capacity that can and will make a difference now and in the future.
To do the job you were elected to do to the best of your ability. While we may never be able to accomplish everything we set out to do, we must always try to push for legislation that serves the common goals of the communities we represent. Keeping the voters informed on failed policies is equally as important as hailing successful policies. We should always try to be proactive with our approach to secure whatever is best for the communities. By doing this we create an equal partnership with the community by dealing with issues together.
That I did my best to leave this world a better place one commitment at a time.

Balancing family life with work.
The ideal relationship would be a true balance of power with a true bi partisan approach to draft and pass bill that address issues on both sides.
Crime,Financial Stability, Environmental issues and the lack of a bona fide energy plan. I believe that given the current crime problem combined with the failures of our judicial system, more families and businesses both big and small will continue to leave New York State. New York ranks in the top 5 for income tax and New Yorkers are getting less and less or their money. Big and small businesses continue to leave at alarming rates because of the lack of prosecution for retail crimes which has driven the cost to do business here to double what it once was. This crime and financial ripple effect has been the catalyst for families to uproot and leave New York for States like Florida, and businesses to move to neighboring states, like New Jersey and Connecticut, or to just close their door permanently.
No, I believe any individual could contribute his or her expertise or skills from previous jobs such as blue collar, stay at home moms, farmers, construction, education , etc. I believe these individuals make our government more well rounded and bring more insight to the areas they serve or would serve .
No man (or woman) is an island. Our government is very complex and it is essential for every representative to be open minded and work across party lines. Without cooperation from both sides of the aisle, we will continue to have a one-party rule which caters to some and not all.
While there is not one legislator in particular that I may prefer, there are two political giants I admire and would like to keep in mind. Presidents Ronald Reagan and John F Kennedy. Both men resonated with the people and accomplished their goals and legacies by reaching across the aisles while keeping country first and politics second.
I would prefer to concentrate on the task at hand which is the NYS Assembly. While anything may be open in the future, the goal for me is to provide leadership in this role where it is needed the most.
Not one story in particular, but rather a conglomerate of stories from residents who are struggling financially, medically, and most who are disgusted with the quality of life they have because of the issues we have discussed( crime, the border, illegal migration. These are issues that we all can relate to as a State and within our communities.

In extreme conditions yes. While the final decision lies at the head of any government, the logistics involved should include both the legislature and Senate as an oversight
the repeal and redrafting of Bail reform. This one bill is responsible for the out of control crime problem we all share in New York
Judicial,Veterans affairs,Alcoholism and drug abuse,small business, Labor
I firmly believe in the publics right to know when it concerns matters directly effecting them financially. During times like the present where the government is writing checks and just printing money to satisfy those checks, the public has an absolute right to know how and why that money is spent. When people are spending more and getting less and cannot afford to purchase a home, the government has an obligation to be transparent and to explain why we are where we are and how financial stability will be addressed and restored.
On certain issues like bail reform and discovery yes, as long the voters are provided with a clear understanding of what they are voting for in detail. Important issues like bail reform should be stand alone issues with nothing else attached not to confuse the voter.
