The federal government has proposed restoring gun rights for non-violent offenders — and I’m here to say I fully support it.

If elected Governor of New York, I will push through a New York State Second Chance Act, ensuring that every non-violent offender who has served their time gets:

• Full restoration of their 2nd Amendment rights

• A complete criminal record expungement

• A real path back into society

HOW WE MAKE IT HAPPEN:

1. Automatic Expungement Process

After completion of sentencing and a proven clean record for a fixed time period (e.g., 3–5 years), expungement begins — no red tape, no endless waiting.

2. Restoration of Rights Review Board

Create a civilian-led panel that fast-tracks restoration of constitutional rights for eligible non-violent offenders.

3. Gun Ownership Education & Support

Re-entry programs will include gun safety education, mental health checks, and training for responsible firearm use — just like anyone else.

4. Ban Discrimination Against Expunged Citizens

Employers, landlords, and agencies cannot penalize expunged individuals under state law — period.

5. Community Justice Reinvestment

Funds saved from reduced incarceration and bureaucracy go back into job training, small business grants, and family reunification services.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Too many New Yorkers are trapped in a permanent second-class status for non-violent mistakes. If we say we believe in redemption — it’s time we prove it.

Everyone deserves a real second chance.

Every time we talk about cutting taxes, the establishment asks the same question:

“How will you pay for it?”

Our answer: Smarter government. Local revenue. Bold innovation.

Under Jason S. Arnold’s leadership, we will reform New York’s broken revenue model by replacing burdensome taxation with growth-driven, people-first policies.

OUR PLAN TO FUND FREEDOM:

1. Tourism-Driven Revitalization

• Coney Island 2.0 – Turn Coney Island into a regulated Vegas/Atlantic City-style attraction with casinos, boardwalk resorts, and 24/7 entertainment.

• Hudson Valley Wine & Culture Trail – A state-backed tourism corridor supporting local farms, vineyards, and artists.

• Upstate Outdoor Investment Zones – Encourage outdoor adventure tourism and private lodge development to create long-term revenue for rural communities.

2. Operation Ghost Town

• Lease vacant state buildings (jails, schools, and offices) to private organizations for use as:

– Trade schools

– Detox & rehab centers

– Veteran housing

– Small business incubators

– Homeschool & co-op hubs

• All lease revenue goes directly to education, mental health, and local infrastructure.

3. State Land Sales & Lease Auctions

• End foreign land ownership — reclaim and auction land to New Yorkers and veteran-owned businesses.

• Lease public lands for responsible development, with royalties reinvested in infrastructure and education.

4. Corporate Relocation Incentives (modeled after Texas & Florida)

• Attract out-of-state companies with zero income tax zones, low regulation districts, and workforce grants tied to hiring New Yorkers.

• Replace income tax with job growth, property value increases, and business license revenue.

5. Retail Sales Reform

• Phase out tax on groceries and essential goods, funded by expanding luxury and tourism sales tax in high-income areas.

• Encourage local manufacturing and “Made in New York” product lines to retain sales revenue in-state.

6. Efficiency Over Bureaucracy

• Slash bloated state agencies, duplicate services, and six-figure consultant contracts.

• Implement zero-based budgeting across all departments.

• End lifetime pensions for do-nothing bureaucrats.

7. Energy & Infrastructure Partnerships

• Allow limited private-sector infrastructure development with capped ROI.

• Open clean nuclear, hydropower, and localized solar to competition — creating long-term energy independence and public revenue.

OUR GOAL:

• Eliminate the tax on food.

• Begin the phase-out of NYS income tax.

• Restore local wealth without government handouts.

Other states have done it — so can we.

This isn’t about cutting services. It’s about cutting waste and empowering the people.
