Their priorities

Issues Caroline is raising that aren't a shared debate across the field.

  • Economic Growth and Opportunity

    Believes the aim of government should be to make the American Dream easier to achieve by empowering people, creating conditions for wealth and prosperity, protecting Americans and their livelihoods, not seizing and redistributing opportunity, and generating an overabundance of opportunity for all.

  • Economic Empowerment

    Supports allowing people to keep more of what they earn, reducing housing costs and increasing ownership opportunity, strategic deregulation to foster industry and innovation, balanced budget amendments to control federal spending, and lowering the cost of living through increased energy production and reduced regulatory inefficiencies.

    Ed Cox

    Caroline Shinkle is a transformative candidate at a critical time in history – we need someone to offset the socialist thinking that is destroying the tax base in New York City. This is a choice between building opportunity for the future or destroying the future. I am proud to endorse Caroline Shinkle, candidate for U.S. Congress in Manhattan (NY-12).
