1-States Rights: ICE and EO interference, Biased Supreme Court We need to enforce our tenth amendment rights. The current white house administration is not working within the culture and constitution. It also has a vendetta against states that did not vote for him. 2-Energy: Solar, Wind and Geothermal with natural gas as the bridge fuel for intermittency: Our state lost much to this republican administration which is hell bent on eliminating alternate energy and enforcing harmful fossil fuels and expensive and dangerous nuclear power. 3-Common citizen protections: ensuring universal health care, immigration worker protection, fair wages, farmers get a fair shake in spite of burdensome tariffs that have created reduced export demand.

To effectively address climate change is to address the world. Climate change requires everyone's cooperation. As a policy we must embrace the technology from successful countries in climate change like Denmark, China and Germany. To address the damage caused by climate change is more to prepare for those changes. Whether its making homes sit higher off the ground, building dams and canals to channel the water away. Once the damage is done there is little one can do except pick up the pieces. Because whether its a drought or a flood this is the new paradigm and preparation is the best way to handle the immediate. We may be able to pick up the pieces now but in the future we either prepare or suffer the consequences. Our biggest roadblock right now is the current federal administration that is clearly disconnected from reality. The tenth amendment protects from such unbridled and intentional harm brought about by a sycophantism republican party.

I believe social and racial justice begins with a simple principle: Every person should receive equal treatment under the law and a fair opportunity to build a secure life, regardless of race, income, ZIP code, disability, religion, gender, or political influence. Government cannot guarantee equal outcomes, but it has an obligation to make sure the rules are fair and that those rules are enforced equally. That is what my policy on this subject would be.

New York should respond to Louisiana v. Callais by protecting fair representation in our own state. The decision concerns how race may be considered when drawing districts under the Voting Rights Act. It does not erase New York’s constitutional rule against drawing districts to favor a political party or candidate.

As a state senator, I would defend that rule, require a transparent redistricting process, and scrutinize proposed maps for both racial vote dilution and political favoritism. Louisiana’s map protected several powerful incumbents, including Speaker Mike Johnson. New Yorkers should be able to see how district lines are drawn and whom they benefit. Voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.
