  • There are many of us that are frustrated by policy and

    politics and feel the need for a change. I am confident I can affect that change in a positive fashion for District 83 as well as New York State. I see this as a term of service to the community and truly hope to inspire more citizens to be involved and active within the community and across the state. The vision is to continue to hold Town Hall style events to speak with the people and listen to the issues and the solutions that We The People strive for. I encourage anyone that would like to Volunteer in this effort to reach out. There is always room at a roundtable for vision, ideas and positive attributes. I look forward to standing shoulder to

    shoulder with the community.
  • The pertinent issues to focus on: Crime which is affected by the Bail Reform Act; Immigration which affects how our budget dollars are allocated; Energy, Education, Budget and the Economy. There is also the issue of government role in our lives and where that limit should be.
  • Bringing community together is vital. When we have conversations on issues, we find that we have more in common and find common ground to move forward. Having gatherings in person and on zoom to have these conversations will be an important component to knowing how the community views each issue and how to resolve the issue.
Education is the core of our society and the branch to future generations. Parents should feel confident and comfortable that their children are safe and are learning the foundations of reading, writing, math, science and history.
There is also the matter of children having access to tablets and phones that make traditional learning not as interesting. Working with the various education styles and formats to engage students and have Parental input will be key to creating a more robust climate for learning.
The characteristics most important for an elected official is the ability to listening, understanding and knowing when to take action.

Listening and hearing are not the same. Listening is when you hear from the perspective of the constituent,
Understanding is taking what is presented and formulating resolutions that are meaningful.

Knowing when to take action is vital. Taking time in formulating the resolution to any issues is important for the stakeholders and constituents to feel their concerns are being address properly.
The core responsibility for the State legislature is to represent their constituents with great care and attention. This includes being responsible for safety, a well managed budget and programs that have proper oversight.
The legacy I would like to leave behind is one of positive change. There is a tradition in how our government functions and I can appreciate tradition. It is time to be innovative and think outside the box to bring the necessary policy corrections for New York State. That is the positive change I can affect as a legislator.
If I could be a fictional character I would be Dr. Seuss. The book series always made me laugh; when I read to a young cousin, he enjoyed them just as much. And I now get to read them to his son. Having a child listen to a book and enjoying it so much that they feel inspired to read - there is nothing better than that. Dr. Seuss brings that inspiring model to life.
I perceive New York State will have challenges with infrastructure, education, energy resources and the economy over the next decade. These issues are pressing at this time and there is a need to create smart policy around these vital issues.
I do not believe state legislators need to have previous experience in government or politics.
I do believe it is important for mutual respect with other legislators. As a statesmen, it is important to have the utmost professional demeanor in the role of an elected official.
The legislature should oversee in any situation of state of emergency. There should be not be so much power granted to one person in times of crisis.
The first bill I would introduce would recall the Bail Reform Act. The passage of this bill has been a strain on communities across that state and should be rescinded.

New York State absolutely would benefit from a state ballot initiative process. Have a ballot initiative process creates an opportunity for conversations across the state. This can then be a ballot initiative for a full vote.
