New York as a whole lags behind most of the country in economic recovery post-pandemic.
Why?
Harsh restrictions remaining in place for too long, very little relief for taxpayers, and a government rife with fraud and corruption could be to blame.

Who knew making major changes to laws without consulting the people who actually put them into practice on a daily basis FIRST, would have brought so much chaos and confusion...🤔

Had a great evening at the PAC Dinner where I was proud to be honored for my 100% Conservative Rating.
Thank you to Chairman and your team for all your work and for putting this great event together.

Proud to stand with our brothers and sisters who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today in this country to call on my colleagues across the aisle to not only increase funding for the Dwyer program, but to make the funding permanent.

Couldn't agree more, especially at a time where we face an eye-popping affordability crisis!

We are headed for a fiscal cliff and the continued record-busting spending shows just how unserious Democrats are about making NY more affordable.
Less time spent on silly gas bans and more time on cutting taxes and creating jobs would be a great start.

What’s in store with the state budget?
➡️Out of control spending
➡️Higher taxes
➡️Raiding federal funds meant to lower costs for county govts
➡️Zero meaningful public safety proposals
I remain focused on fighting to make NY safer and MORE affordable✅

We have to make NY more affordable. Small business owners and their employees should not be held as bargaining chips to be traded behind closed doors. They must have the unequivocal support of Albany and I will proudly lead the charge for that support.👇

💬Our veterans put this country first, fighting for the freedoms that make us Americans and underpin our daily lives. It is time Albany supports these selfless individuals and makes them a priority in the budget from start to finish.

The disgraced former Governor used state employees at the peak of the pandemic, while our elderly were dying in nursing homes, to further his corrupt $5 million book deal.
It is grotesque and New Yorkers deserve total accountability.

When we support our local farms and agriculture, it keeps grocery prices affordable and food on the table. Proud to stand with against any further inflationary policies from Albany bureaucrats. #NoFarmsNoFood

New York continues breaking records for how unaffordable and undesirable it is to live, work, and retire here. A good start toward keeping folks here would be:
➡️Lowering taxes
➡️Cutting unfunded mandates and regulations
➡️Fund public safety

When criminals have no fear of lax consequences, the crimes get more brazen and bold. Stealing a cop car is not a funny trend.
Locking up criminals instead of letting them go would likely make many more think twice before they commit a crime. #SaferNY

The courts rightfully overturned this illegal government overreach, yet the Governor is doubling down on the ridiculousness that gave us the healthcare worker crisis in the first place.
It is time to rehire those who lost their livelihoods, with back pay.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul says she won't hire unvaccinated healthcare workers despite the mandate being overturned:
"I don’t think the answer is to have someone who comes in who is sick be exposed to someone who can give them COVID-19."

The fact is New Yorkers do NOT feel safe anymore and some politicians in Albany are asleep at the wheel.
Republicans have a plan to #RescueNY and create a Safer New York and it is time for everyone to come to the table to get it done.

New York is breaking records and making history... Unfortunately, it is for all the wrong reasons. NYers are fleeing because Albany is lost in the woods when it comes to addressing issues people care about.
Our conference is fighting to keep NYers in NY.

Councilman hits the nail on the head. Unattainable and costly mandates are the exact reason NY is in an affordability crisis to begin with. These policies will turn into a tax on all NYers, at a time when they can least afford it. Read⬇️

Time and again, the policies of one-party rule put criminals before everyone else. Albany needs to spend more time on common sense and less time on nonsense.
👉Lock up criminals and give police the resources they need to keep us safe.

Our volunteer fire and EMS services provide unmatched service to their communities and they ask for nothing in return. I was proud to honor Rich Quakenbush and Howard Watts for their 50 years of dedicated service to the Shelby Volunteer Fire Company.

These ridiculous unfunded mandates are exactly what is making New York unaffordable for families and for businesses. We need to focus on making our state affordable and small business friendly.

Violence in correctional facilities reached record numbers in 2022. Thanks to the HALT Act, our brave corrections officers now face unprecedented violence.
Improving CO, staff, and inmate safety should be priority #1 which is why I support repealing this disaster. #RepealHALT

When people are struggling to pay for essentials like food, it is our job as elected officials to address that head-on.
We must get inflation under control, bring down the price of food🍔 and gas⛽️, and make NY a more affordable place to live. #RescueNY

One thing that they never want to tell us is how our electrical grid is supposed to handle "all-electric" as well as how much it will cost and who is paying for it.
Hint: Because the costs will be obscene💰 and taxpayers will get stuck with the bill.🧾

New Yorkers are more worried about the hot gas coming from bloviating, radical politicians. Banning natural gas in homes and appliances is just another out-of-control mandate from Albany that will drive more people out of this state.

Our 2023 Rescue Plan focuses on public safety, affordability, strengthening our state, and freedom. These are the issues that NYers care about, they are the issues that our Democratic colleagues have done nothing about and have made worse. #RescueNY
