Candidate Statement
I am running to return our State government to the people of NY State. As a former small business owner, I am fiscally conservative, against the over-regulation of small businesses and in favor of lowering of taxes for everybody. I will champion term limits, reform election law which disproportionately favors incumbents, and legislate political reform to end the cesspool of pay-to-play corruption in Albany, including preventing a lobbyist to quit their occupation the day before being anointed an Assembly member by a political party boss. I do not accept campaign contributions, I am not for sale, and I will always work for the greater good. I believe in democracy and social freedoms, I have lived in Flushing for over 50 years, and I am born to immigrant parents from Greece. I am an Independent Reformer and I humbly ask for your vote so that I may represent you in our NY State Assembly.
