Immigration & Border
Kevin Stocker has campaigned in NY-23 criticizing current federal immigration enforcement and has said his platform includes “cracking down on ICE,” signaling support for restricting aggressive ICE activity while framing immigration as part of broader Democratic priorities. His campaign materials and local press coverage focus on protecting civil rights and supporting law enforcement that respects rights, rather than advocating enforcement-first or restrictionist measures.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate has expressed support for law enforcement and prosecuting criminal acts, and has a documented history of opposing New York’s SAFE Act and courting pro-gun groups. His past responses to a firearms questionnaire and an endorsement from a state gun-rights organization indicate a pro-Second Amendment orientation while emphasizing public safety through law enforcement.
