Coronavirus (Covid 19)
Issue Position
 The complete failure of the Trump White House’s response to anticipate, prepare, and react to the coronavirus put a historic number of Americans out of a job, wrecked our economy and, at the time of this writing,  has wrecked our economy and, at the time of this writing, claimed more than 535,000 American lives. We deserved better, and Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats are dedicated to Building Back Better from the pandemic.

Economy
Issue Position
After 4 years of Trump incompetence and ignorance of the COVID pandemic and favoring the already wealthy and well-connected, Joe Biden and Democrats have a big job ahead of us to not only build the nation back, but build it back STRONGER. As the nation begins to feel the effects of the American Rescue Act, we will continue to support those who need it.

Environment
Issue Position
 In  the past couple of years alone, we have seen the effects of climate  change such as more frequent flooding, more violent weather systems, and  a historic blizzard in Texas. Not only is fighting climate change our  top global security threat as identified by the Pentagon, it will also  bring stable and good paying jobs to the United States and the Capital Region.

Gender Equality
Issue Position
Our economy is only as strong as the American worker. That's why Paul is committed to labor rights including the right to collectively bargain and form a union. To live up to the American promise, we must invest in our workforce, pay living wages at all levels, and ensure access to skill development programs.

Guns
Issue Position
 More than 10,000 New Yorkers  have lost their lives since 2008 due to gun violence, which has  permeated our schools, neighborhoods and places of worship. It has  cultivated a uniquely American fear and a uniquely American problem. In  the United States, we are 25 times more likely to be killed in a  gun-related death than those in other high-income nations.

Health and Health Care
Issue Position
Access to affordable health care is critical to quality of life in the Capital Region and to the  success of American small businesses trying to compete in a global  market. The Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, is far from a perfect  law. That is why we have to respond to challenges in our healthcare  system and fix the parts of the ACA that don’t work while moving forward  with the provisions that do.

Technology
Issue Position
 Securing funding for science  and clear climate policies is one of the reasons I first ran for  Congress. Today, I am proud to sit on the Committee for Science, Space  and Technology, and the Energy and Commerce Committee. As an engineer, I  understand the importance of clean energy and the continued advancement  of innovation in technology sectors.
