LAW ENFORCEMENT
Democrats have left New York City and our State less safe, not more. New York City today: historic highs in gun violence, large spikes in violent crime, and general lawlessness. This started when Democrats pushed for and passed bail reform which created a catch-and-release system that has resulted in violent criminals being let back onto…
Veterans Affairs
We must stand behind those who stood for us. George is committed to ensuring our veterans receive the benefits and care they have earned and deserve. Under President Trump, improvements have been made to the VA system but Congress must further this momentum of reform. The next step is for the Department of Veterans Affairs…
Constitutional Freedom
Voices on the left increasingly seem to suggest that the answer to many of our social issues is to strip away individual freedoms. This ranges from regulating speech to making it difficult for American people to exercise their basic right to self-defense. We can’t just talk about freedom, diversity, and tolerance—we must act to protect…
Education
Every child has the right to a quality education. Deciding where a child goes to school should be the right of the child’s family. This would naturally result in a more competitive field of public education, strengthening the curriculum and enabling students to graduate high school and join the workforce with competitive technical skills or…
Ending Bail Reform
Democrats should be ashamed for playing politics with the safety of our families. This reform is tantamount to a catch-and-release policy with hundreds of inmates already released on Long Island alone, including dozens of gang members affiliated with MS-13. Our community is already experiencing the effects of recidivism from these former inmates. This policy must…
Environment
Stewardship of our environment is a serious responsibility. Too often this issue is presented in politics as a binary choice between being pro-environment or pro-business. Americans can and should encourage both. George believes government, businesses, and citizens should work together on common-sense solutions such as the Manhattan Project for Clean Energy Independence. Sen. Alexander’s bold…
Healthcare
Having lost his mother to cancer, this issue is personal for George. He will fight to protect accessibility of insurance for individuals with pre-existing conditions. George believes in making comprehensive healthcare more accessible and affordable for families and senior citizens. Specifically, George will fight to end price gauging by pharmaceutical companies which disproportionately hurt senior…
Homelessness Crisis
There are approximately 553,000 homeless Americans according to a 2018 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development study. It is cited that major contributing factors are mental illness and drug abuse. Rather than treating this issue with welfare initiatives, it should be treated as a health crisis where we train and equip the proper authorities…
Immigration
George has a five-point plan to secure the border and combat the crisis of illegal immigration. Build the Wall: Democrats refuse to put America first. We need a new solution to fund the Border Wall and expanded Border Patrol force: directing fees from visa applications and enforcement directly to Border Patrol and bypassing Congress is…
Jobs and Economy
George’s top priorities will be local job creation and improving the economy of Long Island. At over $20 trillion, the national debt is staggering. However, the federal and local governments can’t tax their way out of this hole, which is the go-to solution for the Left. George strongly believes that the only way to balance…
Social security
Washington has lied to the American people for decades about Social Security. George understands it plainly: Social Security is not an entitlement—you earned it, but the system is insolvent. George will enact major reforms to force governmental responsibility for revenue designated for Social Security. George will also support expanding tax-free individual retirement accounts, long-term care…
Support of Israel
George strongly believes Israel is a critical ally and partner of the United States. George enthusiastically supports President Trump’s formal recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel. He believes Iran is the most serious threat to peace and security in the Middle East and must NEVER be allowed to possess a…
