Quotes are taken from each campaign's own website (first sentences of the section, unedited). Topics are assigned by keyword; we do not summarize or score positions. "No public position found" means we did not find the topic on the campaign site, not that the candidate has no view.
Too many working families and seniors in our district are feeling the squeeze, struggling to keep up with rising costs. But instead of making life more affordable, politicians in Washington and Albany are busy playing political games and catering to dark money special interest groups.source
Access to quality healthcare is essential, especially in rural communities. That’s why I will never vote to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid—seniors and families deserve the care they’ve earned.source
New York’s 21st district is a border district, and for too long politicians on both sides of the aisle have failed to deliver real immigration reform. Instead of fixing the problem, they use it as a political wedge to divide us.source
Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, and it’s our duty to ensure they receive the care and support they have earned. We must expand access to VA services and community centers so veterans can easily get the help they need.source
To most Americans, it’s obvious that the politics in Washington, and even in Albany, are broken. Money is at the root of the problem – too many politicians see elected office as a means to personal financial gain and special interest groups are more than happy to buy their votes.source
