  • "I propose a very simple personal tax code; 10% of your income is taxed with a maximum of $50,000 of deductions. Those who make more will still pay more, and those who make less will pay less, everyone will contribute "their fair share". I do not support penalizing anyone, rich or poor, this has led to the export of millions of jobs and the ultimate loss of revenue. " (www.kyleforny19.com)

While we must always work to do better, I can confidently say that here in NY 19 we have some of the most dedicated law enforcement professionals I have ever met. I'm proud to have the endorsement of Sheriff Butch Anderson and the support of many more police officers around the district. As your representative I will fight to give good law enforcement the tools they need to be effective, and I will always stand strong for the rights of each and every person living in NY19.".
