Empowering Long Island Through Green Energy
Overview: Steven understands that the future of our economy and environment hinges on our commitment to green energy. Continuing to develop large-scale projects like wind farms is crucial for economic growth and environmental health.
Local Impact: Investments in wind energy not only support job creation in construction and maintenance but also boost research and educational opportunities at institutions like Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Lab.
Education and Training: The upcoming National Offshore Wind Training Center in Suffolk County promises to be a significant educational asset, preparing our workforce for the future.
Legislative Action: Steven advocates for continued state investment in green energy and the removal of unnecessary legal barriers to ensure Long Island remains a leader in sustainable development.
Health Care
Securing Our Healthcare Rights
Protecting the ACA: With threats to the Affordable Care Act at the federal level, Steven supports enshrining key ACA provisions in state law. This includes ensuring coverage for those with pre-existing conditions and allowing young adults to stay on their parents' health plans until age 26.
Reproductive Rights: In an era where reproductive rights are under threat, Steven is committed to making New York a safe haven for all to make their own health decisions, including access to abortion and IVF treatments.
Action Plan: Steven's healthcare policies aim to protect and expand access to quality healthcare for all New Yorkers, ensuring that no one is left behind due to federal policy changes.
Accountable Government
Restoring Trust in Our Government
Community Engagement: Steven believes that the core role of an elected official is to engage with local communities to address their needs. He pledges to restore attentiveness and high-quality services to the residents of the 8th Assembly District, which have been lacking.
Ethics Reform: Current state ethics laws allow too much leeway for misconduct among politicians. Steven is committed to reforming these laws to ensure higher standards of accountability, aiming to restore public confidence in our elected officials.
Commitment to Integrity: With a promise of transparency and responsiveness, Steven aims to set a new standard for what it means to serve the public effectively and ethically.
