Immigration & Border

Senator Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick has called for ending New York’s sanctuary policies and urged state and federal officials to secure the border and enforce immigration laws. Her public statements frame recent migrant arrivals as a crisis for New Yorkers and emphasize stronger enforcement and limits on sanctuary protections.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate has voted against state legislation (S135) that would authorize financial assistance for abortion care, and has also voted in favor of measures expanding information or access to contraceptive services on public campuses. The record shows positions that oppose some abortion-related funding while supporting certain reproductive-health or contraception measures, yielding a mixed or unclear overall stance on abortion access.

Climate & Energy

Supports affordable, reliable energy and local control; opposes rapid/mandatory CLCPA-driven mandates like bans on natural gas and the NY HEAT Act; favors delaying or modifying clean-energy mandates to protect ratepayers and allow transitional fuels and flexibility. Advocates scrutinizing offshore wind and battery projects for community impacts while stating support for ‘‘responsible’’ clean energy development.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate emphasizes support for law enforcement and tougher criminal justice policies while casting opposition to proposals she views as "soft-on-crime." Her recent Senate votes show a mix on firearm-related measures: she voted yes on S1026 (voluntary Second Amendment waiver) and S8479 (merchant category code tracking/related payment rules), and voted no on a proposed 10‑day waiting period (S00362).
