Governor of New York

Announced $20 million in state grants for abortion providers and separately moved to protect Planned Parenthood funding against federal cuts.

Describes himself as a pro-choice Republican and says abortion decisions should be left to a woman and her doctor.

Signed legislation in April 2025 banning pistol converters, tightening gun-dealer warning requirements, and expanding firearm/ammunition merchant-code tracking.

Signed a package of laws limiting local cooperation with ICE, barring 287(g) agreements, banning masked identity concealment by enforcement officers, and restricting immigration activity at schools, hospitals and shelters.

Supports working with ICE to remove people with criminal convictions and opposed New York's sanctuary policies, but says he opposes immigration raids at schools, houses of worship and day-care centers.

Signed the 'Good Cause Eviction' law as part of the FY2025 budget, giving many tenants outside rent regulation new protections against eviction and large rent increases.

Proposed the New York Housing Compact in 2023 to require localities to grow their housing stock and allow the state to bypass local zoning if towns missed targets; the plan died in the Assembly after opposition from suburban lawmakers.

Her FY2026 budget agreement said it 'does not raise income or statewide business taxes,' but that budget also extended for five more years a temporary personal income-tax surcharge on top earners (households filing jointly with taxable income above $2.2 million) that had been enacted in 2021.

Says he wants to cut taxes rather than raise them, pointing to freezing Nassau County property taxes and vetoing over $150 million in tax increases approved by his predecessor.

Has not repealed New York's 2019 climate law targets but in January 2025 dropped plans to move ahead with the state's 'cap-and-invest' carbon-pricing program, citing cost concerns.

Calls New York's climate law a 'green energy scam,' opposes the state's offshore wind projects, and supports natural gas drilling and fracking to lower energy costs.

Says he has hired more than 600 additional law-enforcement officers as Nassau County Executive and pledges to back police as governor.

Paused congestion pricing in mid-2024 citing affordability, then restarted it in January 2025 with the toll cut from $15 to $9.

Made rolling back congestion pricing a central campaign theme, warning tolling could expand beyond Manhattan.

Joined a 24-state lawsuit against the Trump administration over tariffs, calling them a tax on families.
