Campaign themes

2014

Byrne's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Taxes & Spending

  • Excerpt: "Hardworking taxpayers deserve a break. That’s why I will fight in Albany to cut taxes and spending. Our current Assembly representative voted for more than 100 tax hikes, affecting everything from our monthly electric bills, income and school property taxes. With your help, I will work to roll back these tax increases and stop new taxes that make it harder for middle class families to succeed."

Job Creation

  • Excerpt: "As a Town Councilman, I made job creation a top priority. As a result, a major Canadian manufacturer moved its operations to Jefferson County, where it is continuing to grow and create new opportunities for area residents. We need to keep our economy growing, and I pledge to reach across the political aisle in a bipartisan way to support initiatives to cut job-killing red tape, and lower taxes on employers. I’ll also work diligently to partner with Canadian, American and local firms, as well as our other state and federal representatives to encourage more tourism jobs and business growth."

Education

  • Excerpt: "As a father, I realize that quality schools and good teachers are what’s important to our families and communities in Northern New York. In Albany, I’ll fight to stop the shift in state education aid to downstate districts and get us our fair share. With your help, I will fight to protect local schools, push to repeal the GEA (Gap Elimination Adjustment) budget gimmick that our current Assembly representative supported, and stop the failed Common Core program’s disastrous roll-out."

Preserve Our Rights & Freedoms

  • Excerpt: "As an avid sportsmen and gun owner, I will never vote to infringe the Constitution Rights of law abiding citizens to own and use firearms, and I’ll proudly cast my vote to repeal the SAFE Act. And because that law, like so many others, was passed without public input (in the middle of the night), I will push for legislative reforms to stop Albany’s practice of late night legislating that’s designed to keep the public in the dark."
