Thank you for your question. It is greatly appreciated. I will be running on the key issues of education, criminal justice reform, Job creation and healthcare. Governor Lewinsky has dropped the ball in all of these areas. He failed to deliver education reform in our region due to his insistence to not pursue a bipartisan reform with our regional legislature. He instead pursued an agenda that would have removed funding from our already struggling public school system to give to private schools who do not educate more 10% of our student population. Such legislation is not only reckless but a step in the wrong direction. Instead I will be pursuing an education agenda that will increase funding to our public school by modernizing our school infrastructure to incorporate technology that brings he world to the finger tips of our children, increase teach pay, create initiatives that will encourage women/minority inclusion into the STEM, and create a more efficient pipeline from Pre-k to 12th into college or trade school . I will also pursue a Universal Pre-K in the Northeast to help get our children college ready earlier. Unlike Governor Lewinsky I deeply believe in the entrepreneurship of our local businessmen/ Women. The Apple deal was a slap in the face and it came with the consequence of reckless spending, untested promises. Instead I will create jobs by not only creating a Regional infrastructure bank that will help create jobs but also improve our local bridges and streets. I will also seek a tax cut on our small business to help them afford more benefits for their employees and to also create more jobs. With over 100,000 small businesses in our region, such reforms would of created 3x as many jobs and for much less than what Governor Lewinsky pursued with his Apple deal. As a Congressman I pursued an progressive and bipartisan measure to reform our criminal justice system. With my Mandatory Minimum Reform Act and my Fres Start Educational Attainment Act, I have pursued an agenda that believes in restorative justice and not a War on Drug system which has imprisoned many of our poor/low-income residents right here in the Northeast.The leadership I have instilled with both of these pieces of legislation is exactly the type of leadership we need as a governor, and it is also the type of bipartisanship leadership you will get from me as governor in the area of criminal justice. I will also be pushing healthcare reform that with an legislative agenda call MediChoice. With MediChoice i will grant our small businesses tax credits based on average salary and not on employees employed, to ensure that they can financially support the changes under the ACA but also help get their employees healthcare, which also comes with further tax credits to help subsidize the needs of our small businesses. MediChoice will also increase competition in hospitals, which will save jobs and also ensure that you are provided with the best hospital care and services possible. The biggest reform of MediChoice will be the buy-in options for MediCaid. I believe that to bring the American dream into reality we must rely on the fundamental essence of our democracy. Choice. With the buy-in options for Medicaid,coupled with the expansion of eligible Americans, I will ensure that every American in the Northeast has the ability to not only personalize their health care coverage to their needs, but will also be given a choice to affordable marketplace coverage options and increase competition in our marketplaces and will ultimately lead to lower premiums under the ACA.

As I have announced my run for Governor, I will be holding a series of press Conferences to further connect with the Residents of the Northeast. I will now take questions from the Press or constituents.

Hello New York!, I must say it has truly been a pleasure serving as a Congressman for NY's 14th and as a Congressman in the only place i have ever called home. The last 4 years has been hard on Americans on both the local and national level of politics. We have endured many lows, but I am positive that a new wind is ready to blow our ship back on course. Under the leadership of Governor Lewinsky, the Northeast has weathered onslaught after onslaught. We have weathered Governor Lewinsky attempts to redirect our federal dollars for our needy public schools towards the private schools who serve less than 10% of our students. Governor Lewinsky directed millions of dollars from our small business owners to give to Apple and it's employees. He stated that the Apple deal would create over 66,000 jobs for Baltimore. my friends we could of taken the millions of dollars that would be given to Apple, cut down our taxes on our small business owners, and created 3 times as many jobs as projected by Governor Lewinsky. But, because of him, our low income inner city residents of Baltimore are at an increased risk of homelessness,increased risk of rent increasing and will be no better than they were before the Apple deal. Instead of believing in the talents of our own, Governor Lewinsky instead believed in the promises of his corporate donors. The reality I just laid out for Baltimore is a nightmare come true for many of our residents in New York,New jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia,DC and throughout the rest of the Northeast. We must stand united and we must stand strong. We can not long weather the harm Governor Lewinsky puts us through, but we must prosper, succeed and achieve our God given potential. As your Governor, I will have a clear mind and clear vision. I will not seek to give money to Apple, when we have small business owners are willing ready and able to create jobs for our friends and families right here in the Northeast. I will not overlook our public schools, when they need us the most. I will pursue an education agenda that will modernize our public school infrastructure with more technology that brings the world to the fingertips of our students, increases the pay for our hardworking teachers and create collaborative initiatives that encourages women/minority participation in stem and creates apprenticeships for our students to get real world experience. During my tenure in the House, I Introduced both the Fresh Start Educational Attainment Act and the Mandatory Minimum Reform Act, which will not only reform our broken criminal justice system but remedy the harms that was inflicted by innocent Americans, by a misplaced War on Drugs. We need a Governor who will stand up for the people and who understands our struggles. Today I am announcing my run for Governor, and together will take the Governor's mansion by Storm!

Mr. Speaker, I rise today because we have finally met an immigration bill which meets the needs of our ailing immigration system. We have a solution in front of us which increases the security of our borders and also establishes a comprehensive and legal path towards American citizenship. Fixing the American immigration system is much more complex than building a wall, or saying that we need open borders. It is about protecting the sanctity of our laws while also acknowledging the great benefits immigration has had on our own nation. I am proud to say that we have finally produced the immigration bill Americans were waiting for. The last time a similar bill like this was brought up in congress, 14 Republican voted in favor. I call my fellow Republican colleagues to action today, and to work with us to get this bill through congress and signed by the President. I call for you to speak up for what is right, and to speak up for protecting the integrity of our American immigration system. Let me read to you some of the great things this bill does. It enlists our reserved soldiers into the border patrol, creates greater oversight on our blue-card migrants, establishes a merit-based migrant system and creates an integration program that will help assimilate migrants into the American way of life, by helping them learn English and get a comprehensive education that fits the needs of our society. My friends, all of these proposals aren't new. They are proposals proposed by both Republicans and Democrats alike. The Democrats are rising to the challenge to protect our borders, are the Republican ready to join us? I Yield
