Democrats convinced 2 million people to leave New York State over the last 10 years by implementing unpopular policies that, I believe, are actually designed to scare people out of our great New York State.

During the pandemic, Democrats gleefully implemented the most draconian covid restrictions anywhere in the country and instilled tremendous false fear into the minds of our citizens to terrorize them into compliance.

This triggered a mass exodus as many citizens just couldn’t take it anymore and they fled to other states. Democrats noted many of the fleeing citizens were Republican voters whose relocation benefited them politically.

Instead of worrying that people were fleeing New York with lasting long term consequences, Democrats went further pushing anti-business policies that destroyed countless small businesses which were owned by Republicans.

Many of these businesses, to the delight of Democrats, never recovered. They knew every destroyed Republican small business was fewer voters and donations for the Republican Party so they pushed forward doing more to crush Republicans.

Led by Letitia James, Democrats began using lawfare to target Trump supporters going as far as bringing criminal charges against the President and actually imprisoning his 70-year-old CFO based on an account error.

The lawfare sent a clear signal to Republicans that New York is unsafe for them to live in, do business in, and, be vocal Republicans in. My lawyers warned me I'd be targeted for putting up my “Vote for Trump” sign and they were right.

I was threatened with jail time over my sign and avoided it only after hiring a team of great lawyers. Most people don't have access to a great legal team that can call emergency sessions to defeat illegal restraining orders.

As a result of years of tyrannical rule by Democrats, the Republican Party in New York State has also become weakened and is infiltrated with RINOs who play footsie with Democrats to survive.

Fortunately for our remaining citizens, many Democrat voters are now voting Republican for the first time. Despite losing 2 million, mostly Republican voters, President Trump received a shocking 11 point improvement in New York in 2024.

Our citizens have had enough and are abandoning the Democrat Party en masse. I am running for Congress to flip more reasonable Democrats to Republican and turn NY RED.
