Nice to meet you. Albany has focused far too long on partisan politics rather than good public policy. Our elected officials lost sight of who they were elected to represent: our communities. I’m ready to get to work for our community, for the overburdened taxpayers, and for our small businesses.

I’m a lifelong resident of Franklin Square. When you’re raised here, you should be able to afford to stay here. My wife Laura and I are aware of the challenges that Long Islanders face each day. That’s why families across Long Island demand a fair property tax cap, and revitalization in our local economies through jobs and by ending burdensome regulations.

I’m ready to get to work for our communities.

• Pass a property tax cap with unfunded mandate relief;

• Get our fair share of funding for our community schools;

• Promote small business development that will bring good-paying jobs to our community;

• Eliminate the onerous MTA payroll tax;

• Provide incentives and opportunities for our younger people to stay; and

• Make Belmont Raceway great again.
