Mulverhill's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Taxes I’m committed to working to change the state’s tax code to help middle-class families in the North Country. Albany needs to stop its ways of government giveaways to the powerful and connected and return it to the pockets of middle-class taxpayers. My plan starts with a bold proposal to double the STAR property tax exemption and continue to control spending so our families won’t be faced with spikes in property taxes. Education Common Core is stifling our students and our schools. I support a full repeal of Common Core and restoring control over our education system to the local level, so that parents, students, and teachers have a say in the education we are providing to our future. Ethics Over the past few years, Albany has become a bastion for corruption. It will be my goal to root out the unethical behavior and restore public trust by creating a more open and transparent legislative process that keeps elected officials accountable to the highest standards. My entire career has been about playing by the rules and doing what’s right. That’s why in Albany I’ll support the toughest ethics reform that would clean up corruption by establishing term limits, pension forfeiture for public officials who break the law, strict limitations on how politicians spend donations and tougher penalties for elected officials who break the law. I also support an end to the pay-to-play culture that has become commonplace in Albany by putting an end to bid-rigging as a way to stop lawmakers from repaying political favors. Economy In Albany, there is too much of a focus on downstate jobs and infrastructure. As your Assemblyman, I'll ensure that the North Country gets its fair share and that our small business owners will have incentives and opportunities to grow their business. My plan starts with investing in education and providing more workforce training opportunities, including investing in vocational training in areas like auto repair, plumbing and construction. Reducing regulatory burdens on businesses that drive up costs and providing incentives to businesses that hire the unemployed are important factors in lifting the North Country economy. Unfunded mandates from Albany cripple local and school budgets, and it’s imperative we eliminate these costly burdens that drive up our property taxes. Heroin & Opioid Epidemic As Franklin County Sheriff, I have unfortunately seen how this epidemic has taken too many lives and torn families apart. When approaching how to combat this epidemic, it’s important to remember that this is a complex, multi-layered issue. The focus must be on four key areas: prevention and education, treatment, recovery and law enforcement.[1] |
