On Government Reform: Automatic voter registration, streamline absentee voting

He is a proud cosponsor of H.R. 1. This bill strengthens voting access by creating automatic voter registration and removes barriers by streamlining absentee voting. H.R. 1 would hold your representatives accountable by guaranteeing donor disclosure and restructuring the Federal Election Commission, making sure your vote goes to the candidate you support, and not to billion-dollar corporations. Max supports this wholeheartedly and thinks we can do even more.

On Immigration: Opposes travel ban, protect refugees

Max supports Congress passing comprehensive immigration reform. He believes that it's critical, for public safety, economic, and humanitarian reasons, that cities like New York be able to protect law-abiding members of our society--DREAMers and others. Max opposes the travel ban which targeted Muslims and left translators and intelligence sources in danger. Protecting refugees through Temporary Protected Status is also vital, as these are people who have fled war and natural disasters.

On Jobs: Unions are the backbone of America's economy

One of Congress' top priorities must be to protect labor unions, who are the backbone of America's economy. We cannot have a strong middle class, without strong unions. The policies and benefits that unions fight for everyday don't just help their members, they raise wages and improve conditions for hardworking men and women all across the country. That's why Max will continue to advocate for protecting collective bargaining, fighting for pensions and benefits that these men and women deserve.

On Tax Reform: Repeal cap on state and local tax deductions

For too long, Washington has let the wealthy and corporations shape our economy at the expense of the middle class. Unfortunately, this most recent tax bill has only made things worse, capping the State & Local Tax Deduction (SALT) and allowing the government to tax the same hard earned dollars twice. That is why Max is a co-sponsor of the SALT Deduction Fairness Act that would repeal this misguided policy that targets hard working New Yorkers.
