Kathy Hochul is rushing to the extreme left, while I stand with the broad majority of New Yorkers who want common-sense solutions.

When I am Governor, the first $50,000 you earn will be free from state income tax. For married couples filing jointly, that becomes $100,000. You worked for it. You earned it. You should keep more of it. It’s time to give New York’s middle class a break.

A new poll of 800 likely New York voters says it plain: people want a Comptroller who protects their money, not one who plays politics with it. Start with fraud. 71% of voters say the state hasn't done enough to catch and stop fraud and waste in government spending. That includes most Democrats, 56% agree. This isn't a Republican-vs-Democrat thing. It's a "why is my tax money disappearing" thing. Same story with pensions. 68% of voters want the Comptroller focused on getting retirees and taxpayers the best possible return, not checking political boxes. Even most Democrats agree, 52% to 33%. When it comes to your retirement money, people want results, not politics. And when voters pick between a career politician and someone who's actually run businesses and managed real money? 51% choose the private-sector candidate. Only 29% pick the politician. Independents feel it even more strongly. The takeaway is simple: New Yorkers on both sides of the aisle want a Comptroller who acts like a watchdog, not a politician. That’s exactly the kind of Comptroller I’m running to be.

As Governor, I will deliver the largest income tax cut in history, slash electric bills in half by unleashing New York's energy, lower monthly bills, and fight every day to make our state affordable for working families, seniors, and small businesses. We’ve all had enough of Kathy Hochul’s higher taxes and electric bills.

Kathy Hochul hiked utility rates 48 times. New Yorkers are paying the price for her energy agenda. When I am Governor, I will cut your bill in half.

As Governor, I will eliminate state income tax on the first $50,000 you earn ($100,000 for married couples) and cut your utility bills in half. Your paycheck should go further in the state you call home.

BREAKING: AOC soars to an all-time high in the odds to be the 2028 Democratic nominee. She’s now within 2 points of Gavin Newsom.

Here is what we know: U.S. taxpayer money, funneled through USAID and NIH, funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research likely caused the COVID pandemic that killed millions and cost trillions. Dr. Fauci personally signed off on these experiments, then lied to Congress about it. Biden tried to protect him with a last-minute pardon. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

Another day, another theft of taxpayer dollars by politically connected scumbags. Federal authorities have charged several individuals tied to Brooklyn’s Pakistani-American community in connection with an alleged $38 million adult daycare fraud scheme. Prosecutors allege the defendants billed Medicaid for services that were never provided and used a network of shell companies and kickbacks to enrich themselves. Enough. Starting January 1, I will assemble a Fraud Strike Team inside the Comptroller’s Office dedicated to rooting out corruption and building prosecution files in coordination with city, state, and federal prosecutors. If you steal from New York taxpayers, enjoy the sunshine while you can. Because when we find you, you ain’t going to see much of it for a while. New Yorkers work too hard to have their money stolen by fraudsters and political insiders. The era of looking the other way is over. Accountability is coming.

New York didn’t stumble into an energy crisis. Albany built one. A decade ago, New York’s grid ran on a balanced mix of nuclear, natural gas, and renewables, and families paid about 18¢ per kWh for electricity. Then Albany shut down Indian Point in 2020 and 2021, eliminating 2,000 megawatts of clean, reliable, around-the-clock power. What happened next? Natural gas jumped from 36% to 47% of the grid. Renewables barely moved. Electricity prices climbed to nearly 30¢ per kWh, about 70% higher than the 2016 low and now among the highest in America. And the craziest part? New York sits on top of some of the most abundant, affordable natural gas in the country, yet politicians blocked the pipelines needed to bring it to consumers. The solution isn’t complicated: finish the pipelines, keep nuclear and build more of it, complete the Champlain Hudson transmission line, unlock the jobs and mineral rights of the Southern Tier, and eliminate the hidden fees driving up utility bills. Affordable, reliable power is a choice. As Comptroller, I’ll be the watchdog who holds Albany accountable for the cost of that choice.

💥NEW: @chamath on LA Mayor Election: “I’m for mathematical and statistical literacy. And what happened here is mathematically and statistically IMPOSSIBLE … I can tell you the statistical odds that this would have happened — and it’s one in a trillion!”

We asked real New Yorkers what they think of Kathy Hochul. A self-described Democrat called her a communist. Another said New York is falling apart. These aren't Republicans. These are your neighbors. Your coworkers. Everyday New Yorkers who are done being lied to. I'm the candidate they've been waiting for. Help is on the way.

🚨 LA BALLOT DUMP UPDATE: Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman CUTS Spencer Pratt’s lead by 12,404 votes in the latest L.A. County ballot dump. According to betting markets (@Kalshi), Pratt now has a 5% chance to advance in the LA Mayoral election. California does not report how many more ballots are left to be counted. 2 days ago, Spencer Pratt received ZERO VOTES out of almost 25,000 votes in a very late ballot dump. STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE! Total: 308,878 Spencer Pratt: 86,323 Ballot Dump Total: 333,712 (+24,834) Spencer Pratt: 86,323 (0) Happened between 39.3% and 42.4% reported. WHY DO AMERICANS ALLOW THESE STALIN-ERA VOTE COUNTING METHODS?

🚨 BREAKING: Nithya Raman surges to an 80% chance of advancing — Spencer Pratt down to just 20% in the LA Mayor race! This is the biggest steal. It’s the 2020 elections all over again. This is disgusting. Late ballot dumps are magically flipping the script, with Raman gaining huge ground while Pratt gets squeezed out. Karen Bass cruises through, but the real fight for the runoff spot looks rigged in real time. Sound familiar? Wake up, LA — they’re doing it again. Share if you’re not buying this! 🇺🇸 #LAMayor #ElectionIntegrity #StopTheSteal

Not only did Nithya Raman make up a ton of ground on Spencer Pratt today, she beat Karen Bass, 39-34%. She beat Pratt by over 20 points. That is, uh, not good. Pretty hard to see how he advances now, so LA will be choosing between two far-left failures. Good stuff.
