John Isaac, republican candidate for NYS Assembly in the 90th District, Yonkers, held a fund raiser on Sept. 16 at Reno’s Trattoria in Yonkers. The event was well attended by a cross section of republicans, independents and democrats, and in his comments, Isaac touched on a few of the key issues in his campaign against democrat Assemblyman Nader Sayegh.
“I came to this country legally as an immigrant in 1986. Yonkers and New York State have given me and my family the opportunity to work hard and raise a family. Now I want to give back by fixing Albany.
“Yonkers is not getting back our tax dollars from Albany. Instead, we are getting back failed policies that put the American Dream that I have lived in jeopardy. And my opponent has been a rubber stamp for spending $5 Billion in migrants, bail reform and now Proposition One. We need to make a change,” said Isaac.
Issac has joined in the statewide opposition to Proposition One, which originally was placed on the ballot to codify abortion rights for women in New York State but has now morphed into a debate over whether male high school students should be allowed to play on female high school teams. Isaac says, unlike his opponent, that he stands firmly on the side of women’s and girls’ rights, and would never vote to allow biological males to play girls sports or be allowed into their safe spaces.
“Vote No on Prop one is on the backside of your ballot, because if passed, medical providers could be required to facilitate a child’s request to make permanent, life-altering “gender affirming” decisions and they would not need to consult with their parents. Additionally, biological males would have a constitutional right to compete in girls’ school sports,” said Isaac, whose campaign has created signs that our readers will soon see across Yonkers that say, “Save Girls Sports.”
“Yonkers isn’t the problem. The problem is Albany. I love Yonkers and I want my children and grandchildren to grow up here with me. I’m not going anywhere.
“I am not a career politician, and I don’t want a pension. I want to take our state back and bring a voice of reason back to Albany. People in Yonkers are finding it harder to raise a family and afford to live here.
“We are running against an entrenched democratic supermajority, and my opponent is a rubber stamp for that supermajority and the policies they are forcing upon us.
“We the taxpayers of New York, have been forced to spend $5 Billion on migrants who come here illegally. We are paying for hotel rooms, cell phones and debit cards for migrants, while my neighbors in Yonkers are having difficulty paying for groceries.
“I also think that the voters in Yonkers want a voice in Albany that supports law enforcement and will vote to repeal the bail reforms that let persistent criminals walk free.
“Our challenges in New York have reached a critical mass, and now is the time to change our path before it’s too late. But I need your help to do it. We are reaching out to independent minded democrats and all voters. The time is now to vote for change. Help us take our state back,” said Isaac.
City Councilman Anthony Merante, Yonkers GOP Chair Bob Moffitt and Congressional candidate Dr. Miriam Levitt-Flisser and State Senate candidate Khris Kerr, attended Isaac’s event.
The guest speaker was Yonkers native and Newsmax host Joe Pinion. Pinion, who ran for US Senate and Assembly, said, “Yonkers has invested in New York State, but New York State has refused to invest in Yonkers.
“I was born and raised in Yonkers, and it was important for me to be here to tell you to do everything possible to elect John Isaac and send a message to the powers that be. My mom moved here in 1977, and Yonkers has been the promised land for me. But that dream is slipping away,” said Pinion.
Several leaders from the Indian American community in Westchester were also in attendance, including from the (AARC) Asian American Republican Committee, Founding Chair Mrs. Pricilla Parameswran , Past Chair Ven Parameswran,Current Chair Harry Singh, President Gurdwara Dukhnivaran, Yonkers, Deeraj Singh Westchester Malayalee Association (WMA) President Bob Kurian, Chacko P George Treasurer
Yonkers Malayalee Association (YMA) Jofrn Jose Secretary, Shyju Kalathil V President, Shoby Isaac Tr.
Indian Cultural Association of West. Jinu Joseph V President.
Isaac said that if elected, he would serve four years and then “spend more time with my family.”
“Early voting will start next month, and I encourage you to vote early or request a mail in ballot. This is my journey together with you. I ask for your vote and to walk with me and knock on doors and talk to the people, tell them that they have a choice on November 5.
