Hello. I'm David Nachbar and I'm running for New York State Senate in the
55th Senate District. I'm not a career politician,
I'm a businessman and I decided to run for office
because, like you, I believe that New York is
a great state. But we could be so much better.
Let me give you a quick idea of what I'm talking about.
In the last ten years, state spending has doubled
from 62 billion dollars to 126 billion dollars.
To pay for it, property taxes have gone up over
six percent per year. Over 400,000 people have left
New York State and we've got the highest unemployment
rate in five years. We rank 47th
out of the 50 states in job creation
and 48th out of the 50 states in competitiveness.
We spend more on our children's education, but
we're the 17th smartest state. But we're number
two on one list...the list of the
worst states to do business in. This is not
a record of success. We could do so much better.
Too many people fear losing their jobs. Too many
people are underemployed in jobs that are far below
their skills. And as a parent, I'm concerned that too
many of our children move away because there are no opportunities here.
At some point, we say enough.
We could do so much better.
I have a plan to create jobs and opportunity in New York
especially here in upstate. I will cut spending so
we can reduce our tax burden and I want to make sure that every
New Yorker has access to affordable health insurance and to
an education that helps us achieve our potential.
But to do this, we need to fix Albany.
It's broken. Read more
on my Web site, NachbarforSenate.com
Join with your neighbors to discuss the issues. Work with us
to rebuild the promise of the Empire State. If Albany
won't change things for us, then we'll change Albany
and for that we need your energy, your support,
and your vote. I'm David Nachbar and I'm running for
New York State Senate.
