It’s time for a fresh start. I’m willing to do my part. I want to be YOUR Congressman, and I will NEVER abandon us.

Why I’m Running

I’m running for Congress because I believe that our best years are ahead – that our future not only looks bright but is worth fighting for! But first, we must turn the pessimism many people feel, back into patriotism – to give them someone to vote for, not just vote against!

This election is for our home, our family, and our children. The stakes are too high. Everywhere I go across Long Island and Queens, people share their concerns with me. 

Young professionals – people like me, you, your children, nieces, nephews, or grandchildren – can’t afford to set roots here where our parents and grandparents now call home. 

Hardworking, law-abiding American citizens and legal immigrants sit by and watch as people bypass our laws to enter this country illegally and are rewarded for doing so.

Seniors are forced to decide between buying groceries or refilling their prescriptions as their cost of living to stay in the home they have lived in for decades skyrockets.

Veterans wonder if they will be able to get care when they need it and how far they will have to drive to obtain it. Meanwhile, illegal immigrants get healthcare anytime, anywhere, and we pay for it. 

The youth are lost and confused with the highest rates of depression and anxiety that we’ve ever seen. 

We have to balance our budgets and live within our means here at home, while Washington increases our debt by trillions year after year. It is insane.

We have reached a tipping point. 

Instead of setting standards and rewarding hard work, individual responsibility, and success, we have lowered the bar and now celebrate laziness, victimhood, and mediocracy. 

We incentivize bad behavior and punish those who do the right thing. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. We can correct course, but doing so will require sacrifice and authentic leadership.

Thankfully, I’m up for the job. I did it as a New York State Assemblyman, and now I will do it as your next Congressman.

When they wanted to ‘Defund the Police’ and passed laws to make it impossible for Police Officers to do their job, I was the ONLY elected official on Long Island to vote against ALL anti-police laws. 

When they called to abolish ICE, I joined them for a ride along right here on Long Island to see them rid our communities of dangerous and violent criminals.

Bail reform? I was the FIRST ONE to warn that this would create a revolving door of justice and lead to skyrocketing quality of life crimes.

When they wanted to give drivers licenses and free college tuition to illegals, I demanded that they instead give assistance to the members of Gold Star families. 

When they cut funding for Veterans’ mental health services, I got it back in the budget.

When they sent thousands of our most vulnerable to die in nursing homes during COVID, I called for a federal investigation to hold those monsters accountable. 

You get the point.

I’m here to deliver common sense solutions for the residents of Long Island and Queens. To give you someone to vote for, not just vote against. 

I want us all to believe in America again. I want us to preserve our community and quality of life for future generations. At the end of the day, I want the residents of New York’s 3rd Congressional District to have a Representative who will put them first by doing what is right – not what is easy.  

It’s time for a fresh start. I’m willing to do my part. I want to be YOUR Congressman and I will NEVER abandon us. 

Are you with me?
