ON THE ISSUES: INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT TO CREATE JOBS
September 7, 2024

As a decades-long labor leader, I know first-hand how important a solid infrastructure is to our community and our economic future. Investment in sorely needed improvements leads to better travel, greater business opportunities and - possibly most importantly - job creation for our hardworking men and women.

Having a common-sense approach to improving our sewer systems, roads and bridges will help create needed jobs, improve business opportunities and enhance our tax base without overtaxing our already overburdened residents.

ON THE ISSUES: COST OF LIVING
September 25, 2024

Instead of common sense solutions to the problem, the Democrats are pushing for All Electric buildings and a ban on natural gas and fuel choice for our ratepayers. While we all support the move to renewable energy to protect our planet and future generations, any change of this magnitude must be done through a plan that is created with the input of stakeholders from the energy community, the labor field and, most importantly, the people of New York State. A rushed ban will cost jobs and increase cost on all our families in a time when people cannot afford to pay more.

ON THE ISSUES : PUBLIC SAFETY
October 2, 2024

I have been a consistent voice for the REPEAL of the cashless bail fiasco. Along with other senseless "criminal justice" reforms. It is time to put the victims and hardworking men and women of law enforcement first. It is time to repeal bail reform, stop letting dangerous criminals out of jail and to give our law enforcement officials BACK the tools they need to do their jobs to protect our communities.

ON THE ISSUES : PUBLIC SAFETY

Senator Mario R. Mattera (2nd Senate District) joined with Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt and members of the Senate Republican Conference today to unveil the “Victims’ Justice Agenda,” a package of bills designed to protect crime victims and reverse the troubling rise in violent crime rates throughout New York.

“As our state continues to recover from the ongoing crisis, it is imperative that we focus on restoring common-sense to public protection. With crime rates continuing to increase, the “Victims’ Justice Agenda” will protect our families and our communities. That is essential to helping our state build back stronger than ever and now is the time to enact policies that put the rights of our law-abiding residents first,” said Senator Mattera.

Common sense means putting our law-abiding residents first and the rights of those who break the law at the end. I am proud to BACK THE BLUE and will not stand by as one-party leadership in New York State puts a target on the back of our hardworking men and women of law enforcement. Our public safety is something that I will stand up for and work hard to protect.
