A clear, principled agenda built on the real needs of New Yorkers — from healthcare and housing to education and public safety.
Key Issues
Sam's platform is grounded in the values of fairness, opportunity, and shared prosperity. Here is where he stands on the issues that matter most to New Yorkers.
Priority Issue
Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Sam believes that every New Yorker — regardless of income, neighborhood, or background — deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare. New York has the resources and the responsibility to lead the nation in expanding healthcare access.
Sam will fight to lower prescription drug costs, expand community health centers, protect coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, and ensure that mental health services receive the investment they deserve.
Priority Issue
A child's future should never be determined by the neighborhood where they were born. Sam is committed to ensuring that New York's public schools receive equitable funding, that teachers are supported and valued, and that every student has access to the resources they need to thrive.
From early childhood education to college affordability, Sam will work to build an education system that prepares New Yorkers for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
Priority Issue
New York's housing crisis is one of the most urgent challenges facing our state. Working families, seniors, and young New Yorkers are being priced out of the communities where they have lived for generations. Sam will fight to make housing affordable and accessible for all.
Sam supports strengthening tenant protections, expanding investment in affordable housing construction, and addressing the root causes of displacement that are pushing New Yorkers out of their homes and neighborhoods.
Priority Issue
Every New Yorker deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, their home, and their community. Sam believes in a smart, evidence-based approach to public safety — one that both reduces crime effectively and builds trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
Sam supports investing in crime prevention programs, community-based intervention, and ensuring that police departments have the resources, training, and accountability systems needed to protect and serve all New Yorkers equitably.
Priority Issue
New York's economy depends on reliable, efficient transportation. A strong transit system connects workers to jobs, students to schools, and communities to opportunity. Sam is committed to fighting for the investment New York's infrastructure needs and deserves.
From MTA funding to road and bridge maintenance, Sam will advocate for robust, sustainable transportation solutions — including expanded public transit, cycling infrastructure, and long-term capital investment in our statewide transportation network.
Priority Issue
Small businesses are the backbone of New York's economy and the heart of our neighborhoods. Sam believes in creating conditions where entrepreneurs can start, grow, and sustain successful businesses — especially in communities that have been historically underserved.
Sam will fight to cut unnecessary red tape, expand access to small business resources, and create an environment where innovation and entrepreneurship can flourish across New York State.
Sam developed this platform through hundreds of conversations with New Yorkers across the state. These aren't just policy positions — they're commitments to the people who trusted Sam with their stories, struggles, and hopes for a better New York.
