Ethics & Campaign Finance Reforms
Economic Development REAL economic development must be held accountable for creating jobs. My experience with strict guidelines for non-profits has prepared me to bring the same approach to government. We should reduce the tax burden on small businesses and middle class property owners by investing in arts and culture destination tourism upstate. Arts and culture brings in about $18 billion dollars to the state economy. The arts led the way in reviving downtown Binghamton and other upstate cities... Arts are not an ornament. They are good business. Heroin/opioid Epidemic The heroin/opioid epidemic is an emergency in every part of our region. It is NOT a partisan issue and everyone must work together to find solutions.
