Richard "Rick" G. Zaccaria was a 2014 Republican candidate for District 129 of the New York State Assembly.

Campaign themes

2014

Zaccaria's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Welfare Reform

  • Excerpt: "As your next Assemblyman, I will work to ensure that those truly in need of public assistance use it responsibly. Your hard-earned tax dollars should not be abused by those taking advantage of your generosity and empathy. This means creating accountability standards and ensuring able-bodied people seeking public assistance benefits are gainfully employed or working to be employed in order to receive benefits."

Stop Common Core

  • Excerpt: "Common Core is failing our children. The federal government shouldn’t be issuing mandates dictating how our schools should be run; parents and teachers, the stakeholders in our children’s education, should be making those decisions. That’s why I’m proposing a full withdrawal from Common Core, so control over our education system and our children’s learning is maintained at the local level, NOT by federal bureaucrats and politicians."

Economic Opportunity

  • Excerpt: "We must start with eliminating New York's excessive taxes and regulations that prohibit existing businesses from growing and deter budding entrepreneurs from ever starting a new business. The backbone of the American economy is small business and accounts for nearly two-thirds of all jobs in the U.S. Together we can grow our Middle-class and once again put the American Dream within reach for all New Yorkers."

Tax Burden

  • Excerpt: "How can we ease the oppressive tax structure and provide tangible opportunity for both businesses and families? I believe we should start by:"
    • Excerpt: "Doubling the STAR property-tax exemption for all homeowners, a move that would save the average homeowner an additional $700 annually and seniors $1,300"
    • Excerpt: "Institute a permanent 30% income-tax rate cut for families making less than $300,000 per year, saving each middle-class taxpayer an average of $1,033 annually."
    • Excerpt: "Eliminate the surcharge on Utility Companies and the corresponding pass-through costs to utility consumers"
    • Excerpt: "Eliminate the ill-conceived “tax-free zones”, which discriminate against existing businesses and tax-paying working families."
