  • FRIENDS, OUR FIRST TV AD IS COMING IN OCTOBER! Our message is simple, this election, New Yorkers have a real choice for change in the State Senate. Families are being crushed by skyrocketing energy bills, high taxes, and the rising cost of everything. Meanwhile, Albany's failed catch-and-release bail policies are making our communities less safe. While you're struggling to make ends meet, Albany Democrats spent $4.3 billion on housing illegal migrants in luxury hotels. As your Senator, I’ll f

  • ALBANY DEMOCRATS ARE PUTTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AHEAD OF PUBLIC SAFETY Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James are ordering 12 local police and sheriff’s departments to end their cooperation agreements with ICE by August 25. Instead of supporting law enforcement and protecting crime victims, Albany Democrats are threatening local communities for helping federal authorities remove dangerous illegal immigrants. This is what one-party Democratic rule looks like: sanctuary-state p

  • DEMOCRATS ARE HANDCUFFING POLICE Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James are putting their sanctuary-state agenda ahead of the safety of New York families.

The man charged in connection with her death is a Venezuelan national who, according to authorities, entered the country illegally. Rather than li

  • THE GREAT ESCAPE Approximately 4.69 million people moved out of New York during the 10 most recent Census reporting years. Families, seniors, workers and businesses are voting with their feet because Albany has made New York too expensive. New Yorkers are being crushed by high taxes, soaring utility bills, unaffordable housing, rising insurance costs and everyday expenses that continue to outpace incomes. Businesses face the same pressures, along with costly regulations and high operating exp
