I’ll Work With Anyone Who Wants to Get Something Done

I’ve spent my career working with Republicans, Democrats, and independents — because the neighborhood never asked what party I was, and Albany shouldn’t either.

My Record

Results don’t care about party lines

The $3.3 million I helped secure for Park Avenue came through a Republican congressman. Grant support for the same work came from a Democratic Assemblyman. As County Legislator, I voted with whoever had the better idea — not whoever had the right letter next to their name.

Supporting Governor Hochul’s push to delay costly energy mandates isn’t an exception to that rule. It’s the same rule, applied at the state level: get it right, whoever’s side it’s on.

Some people think every problem gets solved with Tax and Take. I think most of them get solved by showing up and working it out.

A representative who works with everyone

If you want someone who judges an idea by whether it works, not by who proposed it, I’d appreciate your support.
