I am honored to be endorsed by the Oneida County Republican Party and the New York State Conservative Party. These endorsements represent more than ballot lines—they reflect accountability, legitimacy, and a commitment to representing the people.

I will work hard to bring sustainable private‑sector growth back to the 119th District. I will advocate for policies that make our region competitive, affordable, and attractive to employers. I will stand for fiscal responsibility and a government that supports—not replaces—the private economy.

For fifty years (of Democrat political dominance), the 119th District has been holding on to hope, waiting for a new generation of employers, investments, revitalization plans. But waiting has only produced decline.

Our district needs representation that stands up for residents - not another business‑as‑usual “placeholder” in Albany. We need someone who understands what is happening and has the courage to vote against policies that are harming our communities.

Friends and Neighbors, The Fusco campaign for the 119th Assembly District is grounded in a straightforward goal: improving the lives of residents today and strengthening opportunities for the generations that follow. This effort is focused on practical problem‑solving, community engagement, and transparent communication. This campaign is not about joining the political establishment. It is about representing the interests and priorities of the district in Albany. Understanding how Campaign Finance works in New York State helps us understand the intimate role...

Our state legislature includes many down‑state lawmakers who have little understanding of the countryside that defines the 119th district. They draft policies that shape our environment, our wildlife, and the future of the land we call home. Protecting this ecological treasure is central to what I intend to do as your next assembly-member.

With the second budget extension filed this week, the pattern is unmistakable. The Democratic majority and the governor have allowed dysfunction to become routine, and New Yorkers are left to shoulder the consequences.

My message emphasizes that balanced government is essential for genuine representation. That’s the foundation of my decision to run as a conservative Republican candidate for the New York State Assembly in the 119th. District. 

Economic trends today reflect both challenge and opportunity. Rising costs, shifting labor markets, and global pressures are reshaping how communities grow and thrive. While innovation and consumer activity continue to drive progress, uncertainty remains

Having worked in the music industry since 1979, I’ve seen how music can transform a young person’s life. It builds confidence, discipline, and creativity in ways few other programs can match.

I remain active in sports and fitness, and understand the lifelong value of staying healthy and injury‑free. I fully understand that youth athletics must never harm. Every student deserves a safe environment to learn, compete, and grow. 

As NYS continues down the path of building electrification, renewable energy deployment, and rapid growth of energy storage, New York residents and businesses face further un-affordability. 

The 119th District deserves a representative who understands the magnitude of this issue and is committed to working with colleagues in the Legislature to reverse years of waste, fraud, and abuse within New York’s Medicaid system.

True representation should prioritize transparency and context, not performance. Voters deserve clear, honest communication that empowers them to engage with issues confidently and make decisions grounded in reality.

New York State Democrats continue down the path of encroaching on our Second Amendment rights. Proposed legislation imposes additional layers of restrictions on lawful gun ownership.

I support creating opportunity for all people of every economic status to experience the American dream of building generational wealth through private home ownership; not paying rents to governments and private corporations.

Since 2019, when the Climate Leadership Community Protection Act (CLCPA) was first enacted, I warned it would be disastrous for utility dependability and affordability. The majority of the NYS legislature and our congressional rep continue down the path of making matters worse at your expense.

As one who is asking to be your next representative in the assembly, I feel it is important that I make a comment regarding the recent decision by Israel and the United States to take military action against the terrorist regime of Iran.
