Mark’s Priorities
Lowering Taxes and State Spending
Mark knows that too many hardworking families and seniors are being crushed by New York’s cost-of-living crisis and some of the highest taxes in the nation. On day one, he will introduce legislation to cut taxes and fees and provide immediate relief to taxpayers. When families are struggling to get by, government should not be taking more of their money. Yet this year, Governor Hochul and Assembly Democrats increased spending and grew the size of state government.
Keeping our communities safe
New Yorkers deserve to feel safe in their communities, but pro-criminal policies coming out of Albany have made that harder. Bail reform, weakened sentencing, and political attacks on law enforcement have put criminals back on the streets while victims are left behind. Mark will stand with law enforcement and provide them with the support and respect they deserve to keep our families safe.
Reforming NY’s Energy Policy
Since state government has been under one-party rule, our state’s energy agenda is focused on one thing: advancing the green new scam and, as a result, driving up costs while taking away local control and consumer choice. Mark will work to repeal the electric school bus mandate, restore local authority over large-scale solar and wind projects, protect access to natural gas, and put an end to state policies that dictate how New Yorkers heat and power their homes. Homeowners deserve options, not mandates.
