Campaign Announcement
With a love of country and a desire to make her stronger, freer, and more prosperous, I proudly announce my candidacy for the United States Congress in the first congressional district of New York.
Washington has failed us and I intend to fix it. It is time for the first district to have a representative in Washington who is not a typical politician worrying about his career, but a strong advocate focused on one thing: solving the problems and challenges that face the American people and New Yorkers. The road to prosperity has never come through increasing our taxes and higher deficits that burden our children and grandchildren.
I have spent my entire career on our side fighting for us, whether as a United States Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement attorney or through my work at the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. Every day of my career, I fought for innocent victims who were defrauded of everything and tried to right those wrongs by bringing the perpetrators to justice. Having worked on the 2009 Bernard Madoff prosecution team, I have seen first hand the very worst in Wall Street greed and corruption, but I believe in the best of the American character.
Our current congressman no longer represents our interests or our values. After eight years, he has had his chance, and he has failed. He has become a captive of Washington insiders and we need to replace him with someone more interested in fighting for us than promoting government bailouts and pork spending projects. Please join me as we begin our campaign of reform, integrity, and accountability.
