Myth Busters

Myth Busters
Here is a summary of the most frequent myths about our campaign:
“Your plans sound unrealistic or too ambitious.”
New Yorkers deserve leaders who solve problems, not leaders who tell them what can’t be done. Every part of my plan is grounded in practicality, transparency, and fiscal responsibility. We are focusing on common-sense reforms—not political wish lists.
“You are trying to eliminate partisan labels. Isn’t that anti-democratic?”
It is actually the opposite. I am strengthening democracy by encouraging people to think for themselves instead of voting by party label. Voters deserve real choices—not predetermined divisions.
“Your tax plan isn’t affordable.”
New York does not have a revenue problem—it has a spending problem. By cutting waste, simplifying government, and increasing efficiency, we can lower taxes while protecting essential services. It is responsible, and it is overdue.
“Your criminal justice policies sound too harsh.”
Our approach is balanced: firm consequences for violent criminals and practical alternatives for nonviolent offenders. This reduces crime, protects communities, and saves taxpayer dollars. Safety and fairness can absolutely coexist.
“You are too pro–law enforcement.”
I support both public safety and community trust. My plan invests in better training, smarter technology, and accountability. Our goal is safer neighborhoods and stronger relationships—not extremes in either direction.
“Your stance on personal medical decisions is dangerous.”
Personal medical decisions belong to individuals and families—not politicians. My role is to ensure transparency, affordability, and access—not to dictate private choices.
“You are trying to change the electoral system for your own benefit.”
No—this is about fairness. Every region of New York deserves to be heard, not just one. Rebalancing representation strengthens democracy, increases engagement, and restores trust in elections.
“Your stance on identity politics is extreme.”
What is extreme is the division we have all witnessed. My focus is on unity. We are moving away from labels and back toward listening, collaboration, and problem-solving. It is time to end the tribalism that is tearing communities apart.
“Your plans to streamline government sound like harmful cuts.”
Streamlining government does not mean harming services. It means eliminating waste, improving efficiency, and making government work better for the people it serves. New Yorkers get more value—not less.
“Your proposals target certain groups.”
My proposals uplift every New Yorker—every community, every background, every political viewpoint. Unity is at the core of everything we are building. If a policy does not benefit the broad public, I will not support it.
“Your platform seems contradictory: you say you are a Democrat, but many of your ideas are not typical Democratic positions.”
I am focused on common sense, not party lines. People want solutions, not labels. I will work with anyone—left, right, or center—if it helps New Yorkers.
“How can voters trust you are different from other politicians?”
By staying transparent, answering tough questions directly, and delivering results instead of rhetoric. I am not asking for money—I am asking for accountability. That alone sets me apart.
At the end of the day, my focus is simple: making New York safer, more affordable, more transparent, and more united. I welcome tough questions—they make us better. But my commitment will always be to the people of this state, not to political games.
