Central NY families are being crushed by utility bills and rising costs. As our Assemblyman, Ian will work to help first-time homebuyers, support universal healthcare for all New Yorkers, hold utility companies accountable and bring down energy costs.
A political system where corporations and the wealthy can dump millions of dollars into our elections has to end. Ian will never take a penny in corporate money or from billionaires, and in the Assembly, Ian will support transparency rules and disclosures so that we know exactly who is funding attack ads and dark money attacks on our democracy, no matter what party stands to benefit.
Central New York lakes have been plagued by harmful algal blooms. We drink that water - and our economy relies on lake access. Ian will work to ensure our lakes are clean and safe for our drinking water and recreation.
AI companies want to build massive data centers in our district. This is an untested technology with potentially massive impacts on jobs and quality of life. Ian supports the current one-year moratorium on AI data centers in New York, but thinks we need to go further. AI data centers cause higher utility rates and pollute water and air quality, and they have no place in our communities.
We need good-paying, union jobs, not AI data centers. While Republicans want to throw money at AI companies with dubious intentions, Ian will step up and stand with unions and small businesses to bring good jobs to Central New York.
Ian has spent much of his career making sure our kids get the best education possible. As an advocate and Auburn school board President, he won lower class sizes and fair school funding, so that our teachers have the resources they need to succeed. As Assemblyman, Ian will always put public schools first and fight to make sure all our kids can thrive.
Healthcare costs continue to rise while quality of care declines, especially in our rural hospitals. In the Assembly, Ian will co-sponsor the New York Health Act and build a bridge from our current broken system to one that lowers costs and ensures universal coverage for all New Yorkers. A healthcare system where no one is denied coverage or forced to overpay can be a reality for all.
