Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports building on the 2017 Trump tax cuts, lifting the SALT cap to protect New York families, and eliminating certain taxes (mentions tips, overtime, and Social Security). Has also sponsored state-level tax deductions for students (college supplies).

Healthcare

The candidate favors market-oriented healthcare reform that restores control to patients and doctors, emphasizes personal, portable, and preventative care, enables keeping coverage across jobs or states, and advances price transparency. He frames solutions around choice and reducing insurer and bureaucratic control rather than expanding large government programs.

Immigration & Border

Supports active immigration enforcement and federal immigration agents (ICE); participated in ride-alongs with ICE and praised targeted enforcement against criminal noncitizens while saying immigrants should follow legal channels. Positions emphasize stronger enforcement and community safety rather than pathways to legalization or expanded asylum protections.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Opposes codifying broad abortion rights and voted against New York’s Reproductive Health Act; describes an anti‑choice position in campaign materials and supporting research. Advocates restrictions on medication abortion (such as requiring in‑person consultations and reporting) and has run for office on that platform.

Climate & Energy

The candidate describes man-made climate change as a global threat requiring urgent political action and identifies nuclear energy as the most reliable source to meet growing electricity demand. He emphasizes protecting local water quality and addressing aging water infrastructure as a priority while framing environmental protection in terms of local ecosystems and public health.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate has a record of opposing multiple New York gun safety bills while serving in the State Assembly and emphasizes support for law enforcement. He voted against waiting-period and other gun-safety measures and positions himself as pro-police and pro-Second Amendment on his campaign materials.
