2026 New York General Election

AFFORDABILITY

Out-of-control County spending, up continuously over last 7 years, high sales taxes and skyrocketing energy bills are making living in Westchester - unaffordable and out of reach for many.

If elected, I will:

Call for an independent audit of the County budget to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, and roll back programs that don’t have direct impact on Westchester citizens.

SAFETY

Feeling safe is fundamental to our quality of life. Safe in your home, safe in your community.

Reverse Sanctuary County policies and practices

In 2018, The Democrat dominated Westchester County Legislature, enacted “The Immigrant Protection Act”. This Act significantly restricts Local Law Enforcement cooperation with Immigration Authorities.

We need to protect the safety of Westchester residents, nullify “The Immigrant Protection Act,” and support full, lawful cooperation with all agencies working to enforce US immigration laws. This will also eliminate the risk of losing Federal funding due to these Sanctuary policies and directives.

Support Our Police and First Responders

Maintain a local, visible presence for Police, and First Responders in our communities,

Invest and support full staffing,

Ensure a robust recruitment pipeline

Upgrade technology and invest in training for Corrections Officers

Proposes repealing the Immigrant Protection Act and expanding lawful cooperation with agencies enforcing U.S. immigration laws.

Supports visible local police and first responders, full staffing and recruitment, and investments in technology and training for corrections officers.

Combat Con Ed proposed excessive price increases

Review bulk energy purchasing performance of Westchester Power

Background: Westchester Power, which buys 100% renewable energy, (often at higher prices), became "the default," electricity supplier for many residents in 29 municipalities, in 2016. The purpose was NOT to lower energy costs, but to increase the use of renewable energy.

Residents were auto-enrolled, (and still are), if they did not actively select another provider.

Help residents manage costs by discontinuing auto - enrollment.

Work with EPA to bring stable, cost-effective energy production back to Westchester, especially safe, clean nuclear energy.
