Get StartedWe need policies that support the men and women in blue to make arrests whenever a law is broken, and to keep the criminals in jail where they belong. Critical tools like broken windows style enforcement and stop, question and frisk must be brought back the way it was originally intended to be used and specialized anti-crime units need to be reinstated. No-cash bail must be abolished, and pressure must be applied to criminal friendly district attorney’s who downgrade felony offenses or refuse to prosecute criminals altogether. Learn more
Create more school choice and educational opportunity. Empower parents over bureaucrats. Parental rights are being eliminated with parents shut out of the decisions that most affect the education of their children. Parents must be fully empowered to decide what is best for their children and what school they attend. Learn more

The shelter system is dysfunctional and dangerous to those inside, and the neighborhoods in which they reside. It must be reinvented as they can no longer double as psych wards. Long-term programs must replace shelters that operate on an out-patient basis and force the homeless to wander the streets during the day. The most chronic aspect of this issue has become those who live on the streets, mostly due to drug addiction, mental illness, or both. They must be taken to facilities that can provide the compassionate, long-term treatment they require to return to society able to care for themselves. Learn more
From the massive red tape people must navigate, and exorbitant fees to open a small business, to the endless array of taxes and fines, including expanding speed and red-light cameras, to congestion pricing, and the highest state and local taxes in the nation, NYC is making life unaffordable for far too many of its residents. We will do everything possible to limit or eliminate these unnecessary costs on taxpayers. Learn more
