Issue Position: COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE

Issue Position

There is nothing New Yorkers can't accomplish if we come together and make the effort to make it happen. The first step is to believe it can happen. I'm asking you to join me in my commitment to change not only how our government works, but also how we think it should work.

I believe it will work best if it serves as an engine of opportunity, to generate creative energy by enacting policies that jumpstart its people's entrepreneurial and creative spirit. The old way of doing things just hasn't worked. After over 30 years of Senator Saland in Albany, it's time to change course.

We have to invest wisely, instead of just slashing and cutting. We have to protect our resources instead of handing them over to large, out-of-state corporations who are only looking at their own profits as a measure of success. We must actively participate in growing our economy, instead of increasing our pool of unemployed workers who stand to lose their access to health care and well-earned benefits and the American Dream.

We need to make a NEW commitment to our future. We need to invest in the NEW World of Tomorrow. With your help and support this year, that is exactly what I intent to do as your NEW State Senator.
