“I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.”
“No one is beyond redemption — and nothing is beyond repair.”
This movement is for every New Yorker who’s been counted out. We’re building a state that works for real life.
📖 The Whole Truth Statement
🔎 Who Is Jason?
Jason S. Arnold is a survivor, father, builder, and reformer. From prison and poverty to purpose and policy, his path is proof that second chances can become public service. He’s running for Governor of New York to fix systems that failed families like his — with solutions that put people first.
Not a ladder to climb — a ladder to kick down, so others don’t have to beg for a rung.
🎯 Core Priorities (Start Here)
Energy & Bills
- Nuclear NY Plan: Double statewide power by 2045 with modern nuclear alongside hydro, renewables, and storage.
- MTA Power‑Up: Pair new generation with substation/feeder upgrades; reliability before fare hikes.
Safe Streets
- Crime & Community Safety: Crack down on violent/organized crime; rehab‑first tracks for non‑violent offenders.
- Mental Health First Act: Co‑responders and diversion that deliver care, not cuffs.
Family & Kids
- Child‑Care Access: Emergency licensing fast‑tracks, targeted flex pilots, and fraud audits to lower costs now.
- Every Child Empowered Act: NYSEC flagship campus + Academic Emergency Teams for failing schools.
Home & Ownership
- End Property‑Tax Slavery: Homestead 1% cap (w/ voter consent), no tax‑lien seizures on primary homes, transparent school funding swap.
- Fair Maps: Neutral redistricting that respects real communities — urban and rural.
📊 Receipts, Standards & Transparency
- Transparency Portal: Publish spending, contracts, timelines, and dashboards the public can verify.
- Results First: If a program doesn’t deliver — reform it or end it. No sacred cows.
- Local Voice: Town‑hall tours, community boards, and plain‑language ballots for big local tax changes.

🗽 Why Jason
Because lived experience matters. Because the old way failed. Because New York deserves leadership that tells the truth, measures results, and fights for every family — not just the connected few.
