Taxes

Dedicated to conservative fiscal principles. Our communities grow, our people strive in an environment in which we get to keep more of the money we earn through hard work and the American spirit. As legislator, I focus on the most economical budget for the professional operation of our county government. Our communities grow and our families excel when they are taxed less.

Role of Government

As President Ronald Reagan said, ““I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.” - A free society exists where liberty outshines the powers of government.

Education

Proud to support the educational opportunities available in our County. SUNY Orange offers a wide variety of courses close to home at an affordable price.

Public Safety

As Legislator I am committed to providing our law enforcement agencies the tools, training, and equipment necessary to provide professional public safety. As member of the Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee I am proud to support our District Attorney and our Sheriff’s Office in these areas.

Communities

I am a Port Jervis guy! Proud to work in Port Jervis and proud to live in the Port Jervis School District. Our communities, especially those in western Orange County, are made up of some of the most honest, hardworking people in America. Port Jervis is the little city with a big heart and a lot of Pride! The Town of Deerpark and Town of Mount Hope retain the best of the rural spirit of Upstate New York. Together these three communities make western Orange County a beacon that attracts others to come and explore.

Economic Development

A strong economy is one of the most important factors for the success of any community. From small business on main street to the “big guys” - business means jobs, jobs mean money, and money means prosperity. As a small business owner myself, I am not just a believer in Capitalism, I am a direct result of Capitalism. Proud to support the mom & pop shops in our towns and city and proud to support Legoland, Woodbury Common, and growth in and around Stewart Airport.
