I proudly stood with colleagues in government, parents, and educators, regardless of party, to say loud and proud that we will be VOCAL against HOCHUL’s proposed cuts to Long Island’s schools and students.

We know their funding shouldn’t be cut just to send $2.5 billion to NYC to fund the migrant crisis their policies created.

As the husband of a public school teacher, the father of three young girls, and a Long Island taxpayer, I’m tired of Governor Hohcul using Long Island as a piggy bank and a policy dumping ground.
