Once again, my opponent finds himself on the wrong side of an issue as he supports Cuomo’s hiding of the facts on why New York was the epicenter for Coronavirus deaths. He said nothing as I railed against the governor for forcing nursing homes to take in COVID patients and was voiceless in the face of the many press releases and posts I put out to galvanize public attention. Instead of questioning the governor on why he won’t release the statistics on virus deaths and why he tried to skew the numbers, he chose to attack me. The fact is, I was front and center at the recent COVID hearings as a member of the Committee on Aging. My opponent shows his ignorance by not knowing the most effective way to conduct these hearings. Questions were directed through the ranking members so that the concerns of all interested parties could be heard. Saving lives by finding out what went wrong should be my opponent’s main concern as we learn from the mistakes that were made, instead of having his minions who don’t even live in the district run cover for the politicians.

Families shouldn't be forced to pick between caring for an ill-family member and working to pay the bills. We need to pass Vinny's law (A.3415A) to give family members who are registered nurses the option to care for their struggling loved ones by allowing them to receive Medicaid nursing reimbursements.

In Vinny's case, it would allow his mother to care for him, which would alleviate the burden of trying to find skilled Medicaid nursing care and work full time at the hospital, as a nurse.
