Joey Cohen-Saban

Supports stronger hate-crime enforcement, more security funding for houses of worship and community centers, and education programs against bigotry, and pledges proactive legislation in Albany to protect New Yorkers from rising antisemitism and hate crimes.

Wants to increase per-pupil funding, secure capital improvement grants for aging school buildings and make sure nonpublic schools, including yeshivas, receive their share of state education dollars, arguing the district's schools and yeshivas are shortchanged by Albany.

Supports strengthening the alliance between the United States and Israel and opposes efforts to undermine it, saying he will work to keep New York State standing with Israel.

Supports investing in resilient infrastructure, upgrading stormwater and drainage systems and expanding clean-energy infrastructure, while protecting families and small businesses from unnecessary increases in energy costs.

Opposes placing migrant shelters in residential neighborhoods without community input and wants Albany to address current New Yorkers' needs, including housing, health care and education, before expanding shelter commitments.
