Kyle Christian Van De Water

Deceased: September 7, 2021 | Americans need jobs, and they need them now. We need to re-open businesses safely and allow people and small businesses get back on their feet. We need tax cuts for small businesses via “opportunity zones” wherein businesses are encouraged to open in areas throughout NY 19 with high unemployment rates via tax cut incentives. With the exodus from NYC occurring due to the availability for remote working combined with post coronavirus concerns, I want to keep those jobs in NY 19. I will work with State Officials to expand opportunity zones to have NY-19 absorb the jobs that flee New York City.

Let’s also bring back businesses from overseas. Manufacturing jobs need to come back to America and NY 19. For example, if you purchase a car that was “made” in the United States, chances are that a large portion of the parts used to build the car are from a foreign nation. The term “Made in America” needs to mean more than “Built in America.”

Steven Greenfield

Greenfield touts a simple standard for legislation: “Is it Constitutional; is it good for the 19th District; is it good for America; is it good for the planet; and do we have an effective way to pay for it, including return on investment. If the answer is yes to all of them, the bill will get my vote. If the answer is no to even one of them, my vote will be no — and no donor or party boss will have any influence over that whatsoever.”

Steve graduated from Columbia University in 1982 with a bachelor’s degree in Economics. He has been a professional musician on sax and keyboards since he was 17, and has toured throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. He serves on the Executive Board of the Hudson Valley’s Local 238-291 of the American Federation of Musicians.

Recently Steve has been very active in Extinction Rebellion and Never Again Action, civil resistance groups dedicated to interrupting climate change and closing immigrant detention camps, respectively. This is his second try to represent New York’s 19th District in the House of Representatives, having come in third of four in 2018. He aims to restore the Constitutional separation of powers, end non-defensive war, build a thriving, sustainable post-fossil fuel economy, promote quality education and health care for all, and to return economic and governmental power to smaller-scaled, better-serving, more efficient, more democratic local control.

I’m Victoria Alexander. I’m running for Congress from New York’s 19th district as a Libertarian. I am also seeking support from Greens, disenchanted Democrats and Republicans, voters who all have approximately the same goals but different ideas about how to achieve them. My goal, which unites us all, is to try to decentralize the power that has been concentrated in the hands of the few. When power becomes concentrated in government, politicians can act as though they are above the law and cease to answer to voters. When power becomes concentrated in a few large corporations, business leaders can behave as if they are above the law and cease to be responsive to their own customers. When these two power centers merge, we no longer have democracy or freedom. That’s where we find ourselves today.

1. State Tax Reform …to benefit the average New Yorker, not just the wealthy.

Increase the standard deduction for state income taxes to reflect the cost of living in one’s municipality (e.g., if cost of living requires $50,000, then the standard deduction should be $50,000); end property taxes on primary non-luxury residences, fund school and local government and public services via fair taxes on surplus wealth; levy state income tax only on surplus wealth and fairly increase tax rates on surplus wealth progressively; re-institute the stock transfer tax.

(By the way, there are wealthy New Yorkers who understand that everyone benefits when everyone is free of poverty and when taxes are fair, and only imposed on surplus wealth.
