Economic Opportunity and Prosperity

Quality Education
- Excerpt: "Steve supports the Assembly Republican APPLE Plan, which provides a road map to getting New York’s education system back on track. It slows down Common Core implementation and calls for a phased-in approach guided by real educators. It also calls for the elimination of the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) and increased funding to reimburse districts for costs associated with implementing teacher evaluations and the Common Core Standards. Most importantly, it seeks to emphasize professional development, giving our teachers the knowledge they need to provide our children with the quality education they deserve."
Protecting New Yorkers' 2nd Amendment Rights
- Excerpt: "As the region’s next Assemblyman, Steve would work to repeal the NY S.A.F.E Act and fight any additional measures that would further seek to erode New Yorkers’ Second Amendment Rights."
Low Cost Power
- Excerpt: "I believe in a strategy that relies on increased domestic production of energy and smart, targeted investments in sustainable energy such as biomass, as well as updating our energy infrastructure. Our region has the potential to be a leader in clean and renewable technology that will help create high-tech jobs throughout the Capital District."
