My maternal grandfather was a 'Rough Rider' with Teddy Roosevelt, freeing Cuba during the Spanish - American War. He was a man 'not to be trifled with' according to my family. My father was in the navy in WWII, also fighting for democracy, against fascism and authoritarian forces. I am running for Congress to ensure that our rights and freedoms are protected, just like my forefathers before me. It is time to elect thoughtful, serious and sober, servant leaders to our governmental positions.
I am running for selfish reasons - I want to secure the future for my children and grandchildren. Whether its the women's rights to control their own body, the rights of the marginalized, the economy, the environment, our foreign policy, we need reasonable voices looking out for us, and legislating accordingly. We need stability in Congress, not chaos. Simply put, I want to make our lives better.- I am not a politician. I am entering politics to preserve and protect the America that I know and love.
The chaos and gridlock in Congress does not benefit the nation or our people. The Supreme Court has become compromised with the gifts, vacations for Judge Clarence Thomas, and is aligned with hyper-political beliefs, by both Judge Thomas and Judge Alito.
The Republican's Project 2025 is a partisan plan to change the laws and fabric of our Democracy - the losses of rights, the elimination of the Department of Education and the replacement of federal employees by loyalists, ensures a complete authoritarian takeover.
I will defend Democracy against the forces that threaten it - foreign and domestic. - I am a fiscal conservative. I will seek out and work to eliminate wasteful spending, to reduce deficits, debt and taxes. My track record in business turnarounds has provided me with the requisite experience to outperform colleagues in Congress, in this area.
- I will protect and fortify the programs that we all utilize, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP. Retiring with dignity and access to healthcare are vital issues to seniors. To make Social Security whole again, we must end the salary cap on contributions, that reduces revenues to the plan by higher earners. Republicans plan to privatize, reduce and/or eliminate these plans that Republicans, Democrats and Independents, all rely on.
The dairy farm and the family that owned it, taught me the value of hard work, doing the job right and how to love what you do! Whether it was carrying a newborn calf on your shoulders out of a muddy pasture, shoveling the 'good stuff' or baling hay, or any of the chores, there was a pride in doing the job well, and making the cows' home better for them. I owe a lot to the farm family that let me work with them - it was a great experience!
While previous experience in politics can be beneficial in achieving office and in becoming elected, the actual experience of being in office lends itself to influence peddling, lobbying and careerism, which is why term limits are preferable. We do not need to represented by career politicians, who are more about promoting their own career than representing us to the fullest. My opponent is a career politician. I come from a 'culture ' of work.

Defending Women's Reproductive Rights I will always advocate for this principle. All day. Every day. According to the CDC: 86% of abortion seekers are unmarried, with 75% of abortion seekers are living below the line for poverty. Beyond denying a woman the right to manage her own body, taking reproductive rights as well as the right to choose away from abortion seekers, makes it very difficult to impossible to ever change their economic status. Abortions have been on the decline since the 1980's, falling from over a million/yr to 625,000/yr in 2022. This decline is a result of education, training, and improved access to contraception. 93.5% of abortions occur in the first 13 weeks. Another 5.7% occur between 13 and 20 weeks. 99.2% of abortions occur in the first 20 weeks, and only 0.8% occur after 20 weeks. This data disproves the myth that late term abortions are common....they are not. Up to 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, and many require medical care, which may not be provided due to the illegality of abortive care in some states. With over 3.5 million births annually in the USA, that places approximately 700,000 women at risk, potentially requiring emergency reproductive health care. 63% of Americans are in favor of legal abortion services. Congress must legislate to restore proper reproductive health care, and a woman's right to choose. Based on the data above, I fully support a woman's right to choose and have complete autonomy over her own healthcare decisions. The government needs to stay out it. The Economy We are the leading economy in the world, and have recovered from the pandemic better than every other major nation! The Inflation Reduction Act has many aspects to it that will strengthen all businesses, promote employment, increase wages and develop needed infrastructure. The CHIPS Act is bringing the micro-chip and associated technologies home from overseas - which will be a huge addition to our overall GDP. These types of stimulus came from 'good government', that worked to build the new economy from the 'bottom up, and the middle out' and they are already working for us, with much more to come! And, more than 200 billion in private investment for these acts has already happened! Inflation has dropped into the 3% range due to actions taken by the Biden administration and the FED, now, outpaces wage growth. Though it continues to be a concern and is part of the world-wide conversation, we can see some light at the end of the tunnel. As you know, the FED has raised interest rates for the past 2 years to cool the economy and bring inflation under control. It is working, with inflationary rates dropping closer to pre-pandemic levels. However, we are not where anyone wants us to be just yet, the great news is that a recession no longer appears inevitable. As inflation stabilizes, interest rates will continue to be brought down. The causes of the inflation that we have experienced, began pre-pandemic, with the trade wars with China, de-regulation in the banking sector, supply chain breakdowns during the pandemic, and the corporate tax cuts of the last administration, when the economy and Federal debt did not warrant it. Adding the stimulus packages on top of all else, created inflation.
The Truth about the American Economy..... We always hear that the economy could be better, when it is as good as it has ever been! The GDP was 4.9%, 3.3% and 1.6% for the last three quarters, and the forecast remains strong for 2024! The economy was not better under the previous administration. In fact, it was ranked 7th against economic metrics of the last half century. Some other economic factoids: -The USA GDP increased by 6.1% in 2023 and stands at 27.36 trillion/year. -We have the world's largest economy, which emphasizes private ownership, -10 of the last 11 recessions were under a Republican President, -GDP growth averages just 2.5% under Republicans, and 4.3% under Democrats, -The only Presidents that have lowered the annual deficit are Democrats: Clinton, Obama and Biden. -Of the 7 Presidents with the highest job creation numbers since 1945, 6 were Democrats, -8 of the 10 poorest states in America are controlled by Republicans, -Our government is smaller at 38% of GDP than European governments that range between 44% and 57%, -Americans have a higher pre-tax reward and higher per capita income than all other developed nations. We have a tremendous economic system, that can continue to be improved upon through education to target future skills sets, well-thought-out tax and regulatory legislation and proper policy-making. We need representatives that know how to solve problems, and have their eye on the future of America! Employment Unemployment has been under 4% for more than two years straight! In order to attract additional employers to our district, our regional industrial development agencies have rightly focused on infrastructure development adjacent to the 86/17 and 90 systems. If we build it, and prepare, there is an improved chance that business will come! The groundwork must be laid! Across our district, we need to continue water and sewer system upgrades, ensuring energy grids and distribution patterns are able to serve the needs of future business expansion. In Chatauqua County, we have two industrial zones that are expanding, which is fantastic! Combining with infrastructure and opportunities to attract business, we need an educated and qualified workforce. That includes skilled, trades-people! The development of our residents through vocational training and education programs is exactly what we need. When companies are looking for places to land their business, they look for primed and ready locations and the availability of a well-trained, talent pool. I can aid and support the counties/municipalities that have existing industrial development teams, and assist those that do not. We cannot wait for business to come knocking on our door - we need to prepare and then seek it! Similar to what I have done in my career with private companies, I will collaborate with the economic development teams of each county and municipality, and with the industrial leaders in the district to determine their needs and do my best to help them achieve their goals. Preparation in combination with effective representation, will make all the difference! The pre-work gets you the 'work-work'. Border Security 1) We all want secure borders. Ok, maybe not all! The Republican House of Representatives is turning down 'the best deal on the border' in a generation, due to their wanting to keep it as an election issue, at Donald Trump's request! The bi-partisan deal that is currently on the table was created in the Senate. This includes an additional 1,300 border patrol agents, 375 immigration judges, 1,600 asylum officers, and over 100 cutting-edge inspection machines to help detect and stop fentanyl at our southwest border. With a Democratic majority in the House, this would be voted on, pass and be implemented, and be a serious step to resolving the border crisis! 2) Let's go back a step - The US Border is not an ‘open border’. Both the number of border agents and the use of technology to secure our southern border are at an all time high. Laws are being followed. New legislation and funding(as described in #1) are required. 3) There is an unprecedented surge of migrants and asylum seekers due to harsh conditions in Central and South America. Long-term, we need to aid Central America in ways that stabilize their governments and economies. 4) The Trump administration dismantled the infrastructure that was working well for the USA, and the asylum seekers, and had achieved record numbers of deportations under Obama. The Trump administration reduced the number of judges and those processing applications for immigrants, breaking down a well-functioning system. Obama's administration deported more people in each term,(3.1 and 2.1 million) than Trump(2.0) in his one term. 5) The Republican-led, majority in the House of Representatives could reform immigration and resolve the issues surrounding the border, if they chose to. The House Republicans have chosen to keep the immigration issue alive because the former President is telling them to. 6) President Biden has enacted an executive order due to the House decision to 'not do anything'. My interpretation of the border issue, is that our current representative does not tell the whole story on the border and immigration issues. My opponent Nick Langworthy is a member of a Republican majority in the House, yet no meaningful legislation has been offered up by the House and they are stonewalling the 2024 border proposal from the Senate. My opponent also knows that he has not supported legislation to correct the border crisis. He has not supported legislation to reform immigration policy, nothing to protect the “Dreamers’, nothing to certify immigrants into any status of legal work to alleviate our unemployment numbers to boost the economy. He also knows that the border wall does little to reduce any migration, Nick Langworthy knows that we have more border agents and surveillance technology in operation than ever before, yet, he acts like there is not. He knows that the last administration reduced border protections and the numbers of judges to process illegal immigrants, dismantling a functional and effective asylum/deportation process, and that more is being done than ever before, yet he will state falsities about the situation. He knows that everyone in law enforcement is focused on child trafficking, yet, he acts like they are not. Generally speaking, our Congressman, and representatives like him are the biggest part of the problem with Congress and they are certainly not the solution. Nick Langworthy knows the truth, yet does not say it. He would rather complain than do the work necessary to sponsor proper and effective legislation to resolve the border immigration issue, once and for all! It comes down to this - Nick Langworthy and the Republican politicians in the House of Representatives have said that they DO NOT want to work with Democrats to resolve border issues prior to the 2024 elections. The reality is that with a group that represents all of the border stakeholders, a process to improve all aspects could be developed, legislated, passed and put into action. If the Republican majority in the House of Representatives wanted to correct the problem, they would. The Senate has a well-thought out plan that could be voted on, passed and implemented, yet the House does nothing. Bottom line - my opponent supports the strategy of blocking comprehensive resolution to the border crisis. He will not stand up to his leadership and he will not stand up for you! I would vote for the immigration/southern border bill that has been presented to the House and would also support the Democratic coalition led by Representatives Suozzi and Cuellar, for increased border security, including limits, shutdowns and increased funding. Social Security The Social Security Administration provides monthly benefits to over 65 million Americans, including the disabled and children. Seniors, especially the 'Boomers' live off and support themselves through their Social Security checks. Social Security has never missed a payment! Legislation to protect this valuable government program needs to be enacted prior to its trust fund 'zeroing out' in approximately 10 years. If we do not act on the SSA funding, benefits will have to be reduced to continue based on current projections. And worst yet, would be the move to privatize it! Whether it is raising the earnings cap for contributions that is in place, or another solution, or a combination of incremental changes, I will support well thought out measures to protect this incredible and necessary program. The Social Security Administration has been in place for 80 years and is the sole source of income for many Americans. We must protect it. Healthcare I will support initiatives aimed at addressing our healthcare system to ensure affordable coverage for all. No one should have to worry about coverage and care. For those with employer-sponsored healthcare that is adequate, no change is necessary, other than making plans more portable and affordable. We have some of the best medical facilities and personnel in the world, and it is time for the system to catch up to the level of care possible for all of our citizens! And yet, with some of the very best medicine and medical abilities, we have regions, like ours, that are under-funded, under-equipped and under-staffed! Having recently witnessed both, excellence and shortcomings, first-hand, I can speak to issues that will work to improve access to state of the art medical care for everyone! On a similar note, our pharmaceutical companies are world leaders, yet, for many, insulin had become unaffordable. With the passing of recent legislation, we may have solved the insulin costs for millions of Americans, with hope of reducing costs on other medications, as well. At the end of the day, healthcare should be available to everyone and affordable. Reproductive healthcare is a private matter and should always be between a woman and her doctor. A woman must always have the right to choose the size and timing of her family. Addiction and Recovery Another key to the fentanyl crisis is to work directly with the source nations, especially, China. President Biden has involved both China and Mexico in solving the crisis. The Senate's border proposal also addresses fentanyl detection at the border. The other piece of the puzzle is to keep pace at the other end of the issue - preventing addiction. And, when addiction occurs, how does the system come to the aid of the individual. I will meet with County and Municipal leaders, and their teams to develop plans to hopefully, reduce addiction and improve recovery outcomes. And, of course, we must continue to look to the educational aspects of prevention with research, programs and funding. Americans with Disabilities The rise of the 'baby boomers' into retirement age, has magnified the gaps that we must address going forward. Issues of the disabled are issues of the able. We must continue to make the world more accessible for everyone in all regards, whether it is new construction, existing structures, availability of accessible rest rooms, or the heights of beds in hotel rooms. We should all support businesses that promote and offer access for the disabled members of our community! Disability rights are human rights. The Environment Taking care of nature within our reach likely spawned the phrase, 'Think globally. Act locally.' The commonsense approach to understanding the damages that man-made emissions and chemicals are having on our environment can sometimes provide clarity. When we understand that we cannot breathe or live on the exhaust from our car, it makes sense to limit/eliminate those emissions. When we understand that we can no longer use the water for drinking when it has been contaminated by oil or other chemicals, we know that we should work to reduce or eliminate them from our watersheds. The automotive industry can make vehicles that require less energy, with increased mileage. If we encourage them to do so, and it only makes sense, we can save money while cleaning up that portion of the environment! New, less polluting fuels are being developed and tested for vehicles. The EV(Electric Vehicle) is a promising and relatively new technology, which just like the Internal Combustion Engine did, needs time to evolve. And with that, fossil fuels will continue to be used for the time it takes to make conversions to cleaner energies. With the number of vehicles on the planet and current rates of production, this transition phase could take 25 years! In the meantime, conservation is key! When we identify chemicals that are hazardous to life, whether it is popular weed-killers, 'forever chemicals', nuclear waste, or something else, we then need to limit or eliminate their use, and incorporate safeguards against future use. When we protect our waters and our air, we protect our life, which is the natural extension of protecting our planet. There will always be a need to utilize the natural materials of the earth. The conservation of all natural resources is vitally important and can be increased through education and innovation. 'Conserve, conserve, conserve'. In the desert, you would conserve your water. It only makes sense to conserve other natural resources that have been utilized into the products we use everyday. In most cases, our earth's raw materials, can be used again by following the slogan, 'Reduce - Reuse - Recycle'. The process of conserving through recycling, is good for us and the earth we live on, no matter your stance on the larger issues. Engineered obsolescence is the practice of manufacturing goods that will not last, creating the need to purchase more. We need to eliminate this practice in favor of reducing the wastes of materials, effort and energy. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar can continue to reduce the need for fossil fuels, as their use is expanded and investments in them are made. Renewables may never be the total answer. Nuclear energy may have to increase. Fossil fuels are still required, and will be for the foreseeable future, as we transition to cleaner energy. Since clean energy technology is in its infancy stage, including electric vehicles, there will need to be further advances. Advancements will happen as we incorporate clean energy solutions into our calculations for energy supply going forward, and it should become less expensive, more efficient and installer-friendly! Energy conservation programs can be continue to be promoted due to their long-term savings, and incentivized on a larger scale. Take advantage of the many programs that our energy providers offer that can reduce your usage and save you money! Similar to the transition from incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent and now to LED, each of us has the opportunity to save hundreds of dollars per year! Support cleaner energy! Throughout my working career I have been fortunate to have had some control over sustainability projects, and environmental improvements! And the best part is that there is money in waste streams! Whether it was chemical usage reductions, water reductions and protections, money was saved! In cases where recycling could be involved, money could be made - plastics and corrugated have a market! In other cases, used goods that are returned can be sold to after-markets! And there's more! We can do more and have a positive impact on the bottom-line, simultaneously! Voter Access The negative changes being made are said to be in the name of 'election integrity', when it appears to be the exact opposite. The only significant election fraud that I have seen evidence of, is the effort to overturn the 2020 Presidential outcome. This fraud culminated with the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol. "Stop the Steal" was a hoax perpetrated on the American people. One of the main reasons that I am running to be the Congressional Representative in your 23rd District of New York, is because our current representative has falsely suggested that the 2020 election was 'stolen' and supports the hoax that it was. Now, we see that the Speaker of the House is an election denier. Worse than that, the new Speaker of the House is considered to be one of the architects of the 'steal'. We need honest, serious and sober politicians that actually support Democracy and the Constitution!(as opposed to saying they do, and then do not!) 2nd Amendment First and foremost - With 400 million firearms in the hands of the American public, effective changes to policy and the ability to effectively reduce the access to guns, is not going to happen anytime soon! As we work to make America safer, we all need to also work to protect ourselves. Whether you complete training and secure your own firearms to prevent accidents, follow red flag laws to prevent the wrong people from accessing firearms, or evaluate the venues you attend for their security, there is always more that we can do! Schools, and other public places can be equipped with secure entrances, camera systems, metal detectors and scanners, security systems, and have the equivalent of 'resource officers' on site. At home, you have the right to defend yourself, beyond locks and a security system. Secondly, responsible gun owners are used to licensing, training and safety measures to protect themselves, their families and their friends. They are in the Federal Firearms Database. To enact additional measures to prevent illegal sales and/or prevent gun violence by others, does not seem as intrusive as it is sometimes made-out to be. As a third point, 'Nobody is coming for your guns' - that still holds true! And as your representative, I would always protect the 2nd Amendment! Most Americans agree with the expansion of background checks and closing gun show sales' loopholes. Most Americans agree with rules on safe storage, trigger locks, raising the age to purchase semi-automatics, waiting periods, and other steps to reduce this 'uniquely, American horror show'. And the majority of Americans want gun violence and mass shootings to be a thing of the past! We need common-sense regulation of firearms and especially, those described as 'weapons of war'(semi-automatic, oversized magazines, etc) such as those being used in a majority of the mass shootings. Our technological and manufacturing advances in firearms has created weapons that go far beyond the laws and regulations that are in-place, and puts society at risk. 'A good guy with a gun' does not prevent all mass shootings or gun violence and the fact that 'police are standing down' in the face of the new age of civilian weapons are calls for change. We need to take steps to prevent the sale of firearms to those who may do harm to themselves or others, whether they are emotionally distraught, mentally ill, too immature for the responsibility and/or of a terrorist mindset. That requires us to have a system in place that identifies mental health issues, combined with the ability to intervene in the cases that require it. We all know that changes to mental health funding and care will help, and it will not be tomorrow or even next year. Republican politicians speak of mental health on this issue, yet, they have been defunding this healthcare line item for 3 decades. Common sense should rule the day on all reform or regulation. With common sense, it is also appropriate to safeguard ourselves and public venues, as improvements and regulation evolve. With the sheer number of firearms in the USA, their abuse does not stop because we are talking about them. I am willing to meet with gun-owners and their associations to help to find commonsense solutions that we can develop and agree to, in order to reduce access to firearms for those who pose a threat to the community. Lastly, no matter what we do, with 400 million firearms in circulation, in a country of 330 million people, our annual number of fatalities due to gun shot, will never be zero. The best way to protect the second amendment is to act in its behalf, and work to prevent the uniquely, American tragedy of gun deaths. Israel/Hamas and The Ukraine Conflict The Israel and Hamas War has been at the forefront of our foreign policy since the initial attack in October 2023. The senseless massacre of innocent Israelis has been followed by a military action that has gone beyond what many believe is necessary, harming and/or killing thousands. I have held the position of a ceasefire and a hostage release since the beginning. The Biden administration has been vocal and pressuring, with little change by the Israeli President, Netanyahu. We know that while Netanyahu is prosecuting the war, his nation cannot take action against him for what he has been investigated for. The military aid supplied to Israel may be our only lever of control, and should be carefully weighed with our longtime ally. I am certain that there are complexities that the public is unaware of, including the possibility of regional attacks on Israel, were we to reduce aid. The USA has committed to defending Israel, no matter what else transpires with arms. With that being said, the killing of innocent Palestinians must stop. And it is not lost on me, that Hamas could call an end to the hostilities, as well. My opponent has accepted contributions from the the pro-Netanyahu Political Action Committee and has approved of the continued bombing and lethal force supplied to Israel against the women and children of Gaza, rather than a strategy of surgical strikes to prevent some level of harm. Lastly, the previous administration's foreign policy had some bearing on the events in this Middle East crisis. The decision to extricate the USA from the Iranian Nuclear Agreement, severed communications and surveillance of Iran. The move of Israel's capital to Jerusalem, angered many in the region. The assassination of the Iranian General Suleiman, added a threat from Iran to the USA. And the Abraham Accords, created a divide between Iran and other Arab nations, that could have also sparked the Hamas attack, sponsored by Iran. And in the Ukraine, we all have compassion for the unnecessary tragedy and loss of life taking place there. Though the responsibility for the entirety of this war lays squarely on Putin and Russia, the former president is also culpable:
I stand with the Ukrainian people, as they stand for democracy and freedom. Supporting the Ukrainians is about defending the rights of a free people, and supporting international law. Republicans in the House are not supporting Ukrainian funding and some have been cited as repeating Russian talking points. Nick Langworthy voted against Ukraine funding. Defending Democracy and the Rule of Law Our laws and the Constitution are what protects our Democracy. The now, convicted felon that has attempted to turn the tables on law and order, has once again felt the sting of accountability. Courts have ruled against the felon before. He has lost court battles over small claims, his university, his charities/foundations and more totaling in the thousands, and over 60 cases related to the 2020 presidential election. He lost a civil suit to E. Jean Carroll. Now, he has been found guilty in a court of law on 34 felony counts. Until this verdict, Mr Trump had been defended by the rule of law, in all of his various appeals and delays. We know that he would continue to destroy the rule of law and the Constitution, if he were to win the Presidency again. Adding in the recent rulings of the Supreme Court, on Trump's immunity and 'Bump Stocks', with Judge Cannon's dismissal of the documents' case, we have a serious problem with those that oversee our lawmaking - perpetrated by Senator McConnell and Donald Trump. Remember, the very rule of law that has defended Mr Trump, and allowed his defensive maneuvers and delays, is the very system that he intends to destroy, if elected again! Mr Trump is an architect of his own demise, and ours, if we allow him to be elected in 2024. The Attack on the Capitol As a direct result of his lie and rhetoric, a few thousand people came to the Capitol to ‘make things right’ at the request of their lying president. With the indictments, the investigation has nearly come to a close, and it is likely that the former president strategized and conspired with others to prevent a proper outcome to our lawful election. I favor accountability for all that participated and caused January 6th to happen. The election was not 'stolen'. The former president lost by 7 million votes. Tens of thousands of elected public servants took their posts as a result of the last election. Only one, claims fraud. In order to fortify our institutions and resolve the fraud perpetrated on the American people by the former president, politicians such as Nick Langworthy cannot represent us. The Republican party needs to re-invent itself, and return to being a pillar for truth, justice, fair play, following the Constitution, believing in law and order, just like they used to. We can no longer follow those that are ill-suited for public service. We almost lost our democracy on January 6th, 2021. If we are not careful, in 2024, we may vote ourselves right of our democracy![2] |
