Kuhl criticizes the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, arguing it will force the Co-Op City Power Plant to close unless an exemption is made, and states he would put the district's interests first in such decisions.

Kuhl proposes requiring comprehensive health and nutrition courses, a mandatory financial literacy course, and a graduation exam to ensure students learn budgeting, saving, and investing. He criticizes current school lunches for lacking nutritional value and physical education being treated as an afterthought.

Kuhl supports prioritizing home ownership in new developments, especially through cooperative housing. He proposes creating a New York State Bank offering reduced interest rates (around 3%) for first-time homebuyers, and legislation to prevent large investment firms from buying up single-family homes.

Kuhl supports ensuring the NYPD has resources to disrupt opioid distribution, citing personal loss to the fentanyl crisis. He proposes a 'Fool Me Once, Shame on You; Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me' law where first-time property offenders would not face jail time but a second offense would carry consequences, aiming to balance bail reform goals with addressing repeat theft and property crimes.
