I'll aggressively oppose all political foolishness, like the ridiculous pandemic shutdowns, that forced my manufacturing company and many others to temporarily close while competitors in other states and large public companies, who often donate to Democrats, got to stay open. I'll also cut regulations to make it easier for manufacturers to thrive, once again, in New York and, if necessary, pick up the phone and call manufacturers to get them to setup operations or to grow their existing operations.  Essentially, I'll be a cheerleader for our district by showing manufacturers that if I can thrive here, and build 1,000+ person manufacturing operation, they can too. 

I believe in supporting leadership so they can get as much done as possible. I tell my own employees, we’ll accomplish more if you support me and let me make a few mistakes, rather than if we’re always debating the right action.  
 I believe President Trump is our nation’s greatest decision maker and I want to help him get as much done as possible by being a vocal advocate for his policies. If I disagree, I would only bring it up privately and only if I thought it was an important disagreement. I take private feedback from everyone, but, ultimately, I expect to be supported by my team when I make decisions. I would give the same respect to President Trump.

You have to register as a Republican to vote for me in the Republican primary.

The absolute best way to support me is to join me Campaign Team. I am running an innovative campaign where I stay closely connected my supporters to get feedback and so they can help MNYGA quickly.  Contact me to say you want to join me Campaign Team and we'll get you set up to help MNYGA. You can also stop by my Volunteer Operations Base inside the church at 349 Forest Avenue, Amsterdam, NY 12010 any time to get set up and join the campaign. 

I am hopeful that even the most hateful Democrats can be flipped to vote Republican. President Trump already showed this is possible as he flipped many of his biggest haters in 2016 to support him in 2024. We must flip Democrats to vote Republican in New York State as it's in everyone's best interest. It's not possible to MNYGA by relying on Republican turnout alone. Also, politics is all about communication skills and it's good practice to talk to everyone. 

I buy fresh meat for from local farms and get my vegetables from my friend's garden. Usually I buy a quarter or half cow and share it with friends. I highly recommend everyone buy fresh meat locally. It will save you time, money and help you live healthier while supporting the local economy at the same time. It also tastes much better. My last quarter cow was purchased from Creek Acres Farm.

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.

The most important thing to do to lower costs in New York is to get people coming back to live here again and to stop people from leaving. We need people to grow the economy and lower costs for everyone.  I will get people back here by keeping us “in the news” and by exciting the nation that great things are happening, once again, in New York State. We have a state that was historically the best state in the nation.  New York declined due to political corruption and incompetence. In the last 10 years, we lost 1 - 2 million people. I’ll work to turn around New York just like I’ve turned around businesses. I'll focus on sensible policies and actions that make the state better and by rooting out corruption. It's simple: we need to do more things that make our citizens happy and kick out all the bad actors in New York politics that are profiting off the system while our citizens suffer.

My paternal grandmother came from a town called Malta on the island of Salina in Sicily. My maternal grandparents were of Italian and Armenian heritage. Both were born in America. I speak some rusty Italian and cook Italian cuisine fairly well. I'm fortunate to have a mother that cooks both Italian and Armenian food very well, particularly because it's difficult to find authentic Armenian food in America.

I supported President Trump since his candidacy in 2016 and stayed loyal ever since. I was one of the first people canceled for supporting President Trump during his candidacy. I made a $500 donation and wrote tweets in support of him. A Democrat activist went viral attacking my company over it and 10,000+ hateful emails poured into our inbox. Despite these attacks I remained loyal.  In 2018, a good high school friend announced his candidacy for Mayor of Albany. He was a conservative Democrat and good friend of mine. I was registered Independent at the time, but switched to Democrat so I could vote for him. He lost and I never bothered to change my registration because it was funny to troll people saying “technically, I'm a registered Democrat and support Trump.” In reality, I only vote for Republicans, Conservatives and Libertarians. 

It's a big effort to evaluate sponsorships and costs grow quickly so, to keep focused on the needs of all voters, I'm not accepting sponsorships. 

My business, Sticker Mule, was gerrymandered out of NY-21 but my longest owned residence is in Edinburg, NY. I also have property walking distance from my factories that I use to house out of town employees. 

Roger Stone is a brilliant historian, political strategist, and American icon who advises many of our nation's top leaders. He also broke the story about my “Vote for Trump” sign.

Joe Biden ran on “The Fine People” hoax which was designed to incite extreme hatred against President Trump and his supporters. Democrats launched this hoax after President Trump used perfect language to stand up for Americans who were protesting for and against the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee.  President Trump said there were “fine people” on both sides of that debate which was true. Many who gathered that day simply wanted to preserve history. A group of Neo-Nazis joined Americans attended the rally and President Trump perfectly stated in his speech “I am not talking about the Neo Nazis because they should be condemned totally.”  Our President should defend all Americans who honorably use their free speech rights. The Democrats clipped the speech to only show President Trump saying “there were fine people on both sides” and selectively edited out his very next statement which was “and I’m not talking about the Neo Nazis because they should be condemned totally.” Democrats in the media, including Jake Tapper, ran with this hoax, repeating it endlessly without showing President Trump’s full statement. Joe Biden based his campaign on the “Fine People Hoax” saying that President Trump's support for “Neo-Nazis” is why he was running for President. Joe Biden repeated this lie many times and made it part of his stump speech.  Of course, President Trump never spoke in defense of Neo-Nazis. He condemned the Neo-Nazis totally. President spoke in defense of people wanting to take down or keep a statue. Ultimately, this hoax influences had the unintended consequence of influencing many Americans like myself to take action against the Democrat Party. 

Long ago in 2008, when I was in my 20s, Paul Tonko asked to use our office to make phone calls. I said yes to be nice and it counted as an in-kind campaign contribution.  This was well before Democrat Party became an extremist party that preaches hate. My disgust for the Democrat Party began with their treatment of President Trump in 2016 and grew as they increasingly relied on hoaxes and censorship to manipulate their voters into hating Trump supporters. Today, I believe the best way to save our state is to reject the Democrat Party and turn NY RED.

No, Elon Musk gave a speech and said my heart goes out to you while grabbing his heart and throwing it out to the crowd. Democrats attempted to turn this into yet another hoax, similar to the “Fine People Hoax.” This hoax tricked far fewer people than the “Fine People Hoax” which shows most Americans are losing respect for the Democrat Party. A recent poll shows the Democrat Party’s approval is the lowest it’s even been. Perhaps because of all the hoaxes, designed to incite hate, against kind-hearted Americans like Elon Musk and President Trump.

I posted my agenda to Facebook for everyone to read. 

I would love to see better access to police data and metrics so citizens can appropriately appreciate what police do for their communities.

Yes, I like empowering parents to send their child to the best possible school for their needs. School choice encourages natural competition which makes education better over time. The pressure of competition is what pushed my business to innovate and we need the same competitive energy in our schools. Of all initiatives to increase school choice I am the biggest fan of school vouchers.

New York has been suffering from crippling population decline due to Democrat corruption and incompetence that scared millions out of our state. Democrat politicians love when Republicans leave our state because they think it helps them secure power, but, in reality, people leaving hurts us all. You can't lower costs and improve the economy when people are constantly leaving.  People are the key to improving everything. People work in businesses, people create businesses, people drive innovation, people create communities. We need to get people coming back to grow the economy, drive down costs, lower taxes and make life happier for all citizens.  People want to live in states where positive things are happening. New York was once the greatest of all 50 states and I'll work to prove that good things are happening in New York to motivate new people to move here and keep our existing citizens happily living in New York.

I plan to finish the Fort Drum missile defense system that was started by Congresswoman Stefanik. You can read my plans for Fort Drum in Human Events. 

I was one of the first people canceled for supporting President Trump in 2016. I made a donation of $500 when he was then candidate Trump and remained loyal ever since. After President Trump, graciously, exited the White House in 2020 I immediately bought a Mar-A-Lago membership to show support.  I focused on growing my business to be strong enough to advocate for President Trump's America First principles without concern for backlash. Following the attempted assassination in Butler, PA I immediately endorsed President Trump to my 5 million customers both by email and on X. It became the most viral endorsement of the 2024 election. After the backlash died down, I decided it was necessary to continue publicly supporting the President to give others the courage to do the same. This led me to install the giant Vote for Trump sign atop my tallest factory building.

I was among the first people to correctly identify that President Trump is the world's best negotiator and would use tariffs as a negotiations tactic to achieve objectives that help all Americans. Upon entering the White House, President Trump quickly acted to use tariffs to force Canada and Mexico to secure their borders and additionally used tariffs to force Colombia to take back criminal deportees.

Yes, I support concealed carry reciprocity as it's the best way to overcome the Democrats' anti-gun activism in New York State.

I'm a vocal advocate for repealing the HALT Act. I've spoke at multiple correctional facilities to advocate for repealing the HALT Act and also invested heavily in radio ads to educate citizens about why the HALT Act must be repealed.

I will lower energy costs by support President Trump's energy agenda and stopping wasteful energy initiatives like taxpayer funded farmland solar.

We need a farm bill that benefits all farmers equally and better technology to connect farmers directly to consumers like I connected my factory directly to consumers. Farmers sell a lot of great products that people want to buy, but cannot easily. For example, I routinely buy farm fresh meat and share it with friends. It's much healthier and tastes better too but most people don't know how to contact a farm and buy fresh meat or other farm products.  I can't give farmers technology as a Congressman but I can advocate for the creation of software startups that service farmers. This is something I think is worth doing.

People want to live and work in places where are moving in a positive direction. New York has been on the decline due to Democrat corruption and incompetence. President Trump called us the most “corrupt State in the Union” and noted people are fleeing.  I saw the same and decided to stay and fight. When I first told my lawyers I'd erect a giant “Vote for Trump” sign in New York they warned that I'd face severe consequences for my actions. “Democrats are vindictive and you're making yourself a target,” they told me. I found out they were right when I awoke to a Democrat imposed restraining order that threatened to jail me for installing my sign. I beat the Democrats in the court of law and public to keep my sign up and contribute to the 11 point improvement for President Trump in New York State. To bring people back to New York, it's simple: We need to show that New York is trending in a positive direction so that people want to stay and join the fight to Make New York Great Again.  I will keep New York top of mind nationally by keeping us in the news so people are excited to stay  and come live here again.  I will act to get things done for all citizens like installing high speed Internet and cell service so that it's clear good things are actually happening.  I will prove New York is a state that's safe for people from both political parties by fighting and exposing political corruption to make it stop. I will make New York a state that's safe to live in again for all people by securing the North Border and supporting law enforcement to stop crime. Above all, I will be New York's best cheerleader and promoter to the world. We once had Frank Sinatra, Mike Tyson, and Donald Trump championing NY to excite people to live in our great state. I'll take over where they left off.

I'll bring fast Internet and cell service to the district. This will help existing and new businesses while also allowing high paid remote employees to live in our beautiful towns and cities. I'll also finish the Fort Drum missile defense system that will create thousands of jobs and support a farm bill that helps all farmers equally while stopping the taxpayer funded solar farms. I'll make New York a place positive change is happening and keep us in the news so we're top of mind and people are motivated to move and stay here.  Finally, I'll work hard doing common sense things like making phone calls to businesses to get them to come back to New York State.

Yes, we have to keep our promises. I will protect social security and oppose any taxes on social security too.

DEI causes organizations to underperform by promoting people on the basis of race rather than ability. This is disrespectful to people from different cultural backgrounds who earned their jobs on their merits. DEI enables Democrat activists to promote allies and overlook talented people. It's designed to help Democrats secure power in the government and private sector because DEI attracts far left activists and repels talented people. I refused to allow DEI inside Sticker Mule where we employ talented people from all cultural backgrounds because they are the best at what they do.

Unions have become far too political. Union leaders refuse to support corrections officers who went on strike to protest surging violence in prisons. The officers should have had union support. They did not because union leaders serve Democrats. Unions aren't serving the workers anymore. I support the workers, but not the union leaders who tend to push workers to always vote Democrat.

I'm a big fan of the 2nd Amendment because it protects us from government tyranny which we see was as a legitimate concern over the last 8 years. Democrats tried to take away free speech and imprison Americans for political reasons. I will never forget waking up, after installing my “Vote for Trump” sign, to be told that the Democrats planned to imprison me for displaying it.  Countries that lose gun rights lose freedom very quickly. For this reason, I fully support gun rights and will never compromise. I specifically support concealed carry reciprocity as it's the best way to overcome Democrat's anti-gun activism in New York State. I'm happy to report that my efforts to protect American Freedom were recognized by the Firearms Policy Coalition.
