2026 New York General Election

I want to create more commercial spaces in Westchester so that they can be rented or purchased similar to what Beacon and Cold Spring have done. One of the things many constituents have brought to my attention is the desire to have diversified commerce, including shops and restaurants. As to buildings that are already vacant, I intend to draw new businesses here and deal with obstructive over-regulation. I also want to entertain one or two large-scale developers to our area which would create a family multi-entertainment facility. There are several options open to me with people I have met and known over the year.

You have proposed attracting more businesses to reduce pressure on residential taxpayers. What types of businesses would you like to see come to Cortlandt?

You have proposed a moratorium on multifamily housing and large apartment complexes. What would you want that moratorium to accomplish?

Creating multi-family apartments or condos is a topic to explore when we have created a reasonable job market and businesses that would support those who might move into our area and work here. As you might suspect, thousands of jobs were lost and many businesses left just from the closure of Indian Point alone. Nothing has been done to replace the revenue generated from it either. How can we responsibly support creating communities in which to live when we do not have the industries people would need to live? It makes no sense to put the cart before the horse, hoping for, instead of relying on, good outcomes. Once we have created better and additional commercial spaces to generate revenue, the burden on the homeowner would naturally decrease.

Town of Cortlandt resident Sheri Ann Cook has created a petition with over 100 signatures that calls for repeal of the Yeshiva’s special permits, denial of the request to build a new dormitory, and to force the Yeshiva to “… operate a place of worship and only allow weekend seminars, summer camps, weekend retreats and any alleged religious instruction on the grounds be limited to part-time, non-resident students.”

In the petition, Cook cites 10 pages of allegations that claim the Yeshiva has not been legally authorized to operate in New York state, that the Yeshiva has been dumping sewage into the adjacent wetlands and illegally conferring associate degrees without state Board of Regents approval.

Creating a police department would allow us to invest our tax dollars in our safety, similar to what Yorktown already does. I would also have more patrols at night than day. As to EMS and other shared services, I would want a more thorough accounting of where our dollars are spent. Creating our own emergency system and fire departments is also something I would consider.

Cortlandt shares some public safety and emergency services with neighboring municipalities. Would you change or expand any of these agreements if elected?

As to shared services, I would like to create our own police department. We are beholden to Westchester PD, especially at night when crime heightens. That is not a figment of imagination. Heightened crime at night is a fact. Creating a police department would allow us to invest our tax dollars in our safety, similar to what Yorktown already does. I would also have more patrols at night than day.

Wants a more thorough accounting of spending on emergency medical services and shared services, and would consider local emergency and fire departments.

Proposes creating a local police department and assigning more patrols at night.

Holtec was under attack while Cuomo was still in office. The plant was shut down and Hochul jumped in with the green energy ideal, but cannot replace what Indian Point once did for us. I am with Lawler on recommissioning the plant and having newer nuclear technology placed in it. Whatever that may entail, I am open to discussing that resource. It will not be a simple fix given the federal regulations, but repurposing Indian Point to generate energy and lowering our bottom line is certainly better for us and our surrounding areas.

Supports restarting Indian Point with newer nuclear technology while acknowledging federal regulations.
