  • Transparency. Residents of local communities are provided little no information regarding legislative issues and bill proposals until after they have been passed and adopted into law. By bridging the vast communication gap between constituents and their elected officials, local residents can become more involved in the decision-making process by letting their voices be heard.
  • Policies of Common Sense, Not Nonsense. By having a supermajority in the Assembly, only one political party has been able to pass legislation. When one party steers the ship for too long, it becomes blinded with power and control- losing touch with the basic needs of the average New Yorker. Every New Yorker can see that the current party in charge has steered so far left, they can no longer see what is right.
  • Don't Forget the Middleman. Middle-class New Yorkers have a new wave of incoming youth who have the skills and drive to contribute to society, the economy and to make real change. It is vital to provide middle-class New Yorkers with incentives to brave the risks inherent in starting a business, providing a service or creating new and innovative products to the Country.
Law Enforcement and Public Safety.

Public School Education.

Supporting Small Businesses and entrepreneurs.
In theory, New York's bicameral legislative system was designed to ensure a fair process of checks and balances in the law-making process, so as to truly represent the best interests of the resident of New York who elected each legislator to represent their community. Unfortunately, in 2020, there is no distinguishable difference between the NYS Assembly and the NYS Senate. Both chambers are heavily controlled and influenced by only one political party. I am confident the citizens of New York have grown tired and confused with the Democratic Party and their inability to acknowledge the reality that the legislation passed throughout the years has only furthered the divide between the economic classes and made the quality of life, and it's affordability, simply unattainable.
Reinforced principles within the Judicial branch of government, re-appropriating the fiscal budget to accurately reflect the areas of infrastructure that require attention, and providing opportunities for small businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive in an economy that rewards their financial success rather than punitively tax them for it.

I do not think it is beneficial, I think it is ESSENTIAL. Elected public officials must reach across party lines to act in the best interests of the public they serve. There will always be disagreement of thought and opinion, but decisions must always be made with the residents of New York in mind.
