KEY ISSUES
C-E-O makes voters the boss of the future of our communities:
CRIME
​
​
✔ Support removing District Attorneys from office who refuse to prosecute those who break the law
✘ Oppose defunding the police
✘ Oppose cashless bail
✘ Oppose closing state prisons to significantly reduce the population of incarcerated felons (decarceration)
✘ Oppose creating safe injection sites, and legalizing recreational use of all drugs--including psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs
EDUCATION
✔ Support parental rights and public school oversight over what children are taught
✔ Support taxpayer education funding to follow the student, should parents opt to place their children in private or public charter schools, parochial schools, or in home school cooperatives
✘ Oppose biological boys competing against biological girls in sports, and biological girls being forced to share locker rooms, shower facilities and bathrooms with biological boys
✘ Oppose “social transitioning” of minor children by public school personnel that encourages them to seek chemical or surgical treatment to change the sex they were born as (biological sex), and using tax dollars to provide such medical interventions
​
OPPORTUNITY
​
​
​
✔ Support making NYC less hostile to family-owned small businesses and start-ups by reducing regulations/taxes/fees
✔ Support creating Opportunity Zones in areas hardest hit by COVID lockdowns to create well-paying, permanent, full-time jobs
✘ Oppose congestion pricing, which is a tax on Bronxites who must commute to Manhattan to work at jobs not available in our borough—and will devastate our city’s struggling post-COVID economy by discouraging workers from returning to the office and spending money at local businesses that depend on commuters from other boroughs
✔ Support lowering taxes on unincorporated trades and businesses, as well as on sole proprietors, with a temporary tax credit to encourage people who lost their jobs because they refused mandated COVID vaccination to start new businesses
I’m also running to put voters in charge of how the state government spends our money:
Accountability makes voters the boss of the future of our communities:
✔ Support term limits for the Governor, Lt. Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General, and Members of the Senate and Assembly
✔ Support audits of all state agencies to determine how tax dollars were spent before the Governor submits the executive budget and appropriation bills to the Legislature
✔ Support reducing the number of managers at state agencies, and shifting those salaries to boost the number of front-line workers for positions that are have remained unfilled
✘ Oppose establishing “sanctuary” governments, and shifting access to safety net programs and resources away from our own poor, disabled, elderly and Veterans
✘ Oppose hiring illegal border crossers to fill 4,000 vacant state jobs, so that a workfare program can be created to transition disabled veterans, formerly homeless and incarcerated who are in supportive housing programs from unemployment to paying jobs

About Kevin
For our Freedom, For our Future
I moved to Riverdale 11 years ago from Rockland County to raise my children in the neighborhood my partner grew up in.
Until recently, Riverdale was an ideal community in which to raise my four children, who range in age from five to 21 years old, because this community used to have great schools, and a family-friendly environment.
But the quality of life in Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Marble Hill, Norwood, Van Cortlandt Village, Wakefield and Woodlawn Heights has noticeably deteriorated, because of bad policies like cashless bail, decriminalizing shoplifting and other offenses, and legalizing recreational drug use.
I want our communities to remain attractive to young families and elders alike with common-sense policies and legislation that focuses on public safety, excellence in education and creating good jobs.
I am also concerned about whether the state government makes the best use of taxpayer money.
As a film and television director/producer, I manage production budgets of several million dollars, and am responsible for pulling together the resources and people to take projects from concept to reality. My experience gives me the skills needed to hold elected officials and state agencies accountable for how--and how effectively--tax dollars are being used.
