Lucian Wintrich completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wintrich's responses.
| Collapse all
- Lower costs, protect wealth, and unlock housing. NY-12 is the engine of the country, yet we’re punished for living here. I’ll fight to restore SALT, fix federal income caps that penalize high-cost cities, and push real tax relief so a NYC “middle class” paycheck isn’t treated like Midwest “rich.” I’ll crack down on vacant and warehoused units, back a refundable $25,000 first-time co-op or condo credit, and target healthcare middlemen so patients, not PBMs, get the savings.
- Make New York safe again without surrendering freedom. Compassion isn’t letting people deteriorate on the subway. I’ll fund real crisis stabilization beds and treatment pathways, push transparency and accountability for reckless release decisions, and hit fentanyl death peddlers with serious federal consequences. We can modernize response while banning facial-recognition dragnet surveillance. I’ll back Clean Streets block grants so basic order returns: lighting, rapid repairs, and sanitation that signals this city belongs to residents again.
- Accountability first. Clean up Washington and make government work for New Yorkers. I support a ban on congressional stock trading and a real war on waste, audited and results-based, that stops treating NY-12 like an ATM. I’ll tie federal transit dollars to performance and oppose congestion pricing approvals until the MTA passes a full forensic audit. I’ll pass a Digital Bill of Rights to end data brokers and robocalls and require consent and compensation when AI firms scrape your work. New York First means competence, not excuses.
