Campaign themes
2014
Dorancy's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Improving Public Education
- Excerpt: "Because education is the way out of poverty, Rubain knows that a high quality public education, which includes a comprehensive early childhood and after-school component, should be a guaranteed right that our children receive. He will work to expand Universal Pre-K and to increase the availability of free after programs and community schools."
Expanding Job Opportunities and Fair Budget Policies
- Excerpt: "Because good paying jobs and the ability to support a family are the bases of a stable community and thriving neighborhood, Rubain will fight for the small businesses that are the backbone of job creation in New York. He will work to expand opportunities and to eliminate the barriers small businesses face."
Building affordable housing and protecting homeowners
- Excerpt: "Because protecting tenants and local residents’ ability to remain in their homes is important to keeping neighborhood stability and maintaining community ties, Rubain will work with local decision-makers and his colleagues in Albany to ensure that affordable housing is built and tenant protection is made a priority."
Promoting Equality
- Excerpt: "Because we can protect all citizens while safeguarding their rights, Rubain will work to support programs that will increase crime prevention and safety while ensuring our civil rights and our neighbors’ civil liberties. By investing in local partnerships and using community-based models, our streets can be safer and our neighborhoods can thrive. Rubain will advocate for strong enforcement of laws that will ensure safety and improve the quality of life in the 20th Senatorial District even as we strengthen the ties among our community members."
