Andrew Giuliani in The New York Post
On Civil Rights:
Kneeling during anthem is a war on our police
A diehard Yankees and football Giants fan, Giuliani said he opposed professional players kneeling during the National Anthem to protest police abuse of black citizens, calling it "disappointing" and "very sad."
"They're protesting. This is a war on our police," he said. "Sports is something that's going to bring people together. Unfortunately, now it's become a divisive topic."

On Crime:
Curbing crime a top priority, no greater friend to police
Giuliani, citing an increase in shootings, said curbing crime will be a top priority. He said Cuomo and the Democrats have been more interested in helping defendants by eliminating cash bail for many crimes. "This has
to be something dealt with at the state level. The police are not getting protection from City Hall and Albany to do the job right. There will be no greater friend to the police than Andrew Giuliani," he said.

On Education:
Open more charter schools, give parents choice
Giuliani also accused Cuomo and Democratic legislators of abandoning parents and kids by failing to raise the cap on the opening of more charter schools. "I will be someone to fight for your choice. The 270 cap in New York City is beyond absurd.
The cap needs to go up. It's hurting kids who don't have the means to go to an expensive private school," he said.

On Principles & Values:
I'm a politician out of the womb; it's in my DNA
[Campaign announcement interview]: "I'm a politician out of the womb. It's in my DNA," Giuliani, 35, told The Post, referring to his childhood as the son of a larger than life Big Apple mayor. "Giuliani vs. Cuomo.
Holy smokes. Its Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier. We can sell tickets at Madison Square Garden," he said, referring to the famous 1971 heavyweight title prizefight.

On Tax Reform:
Roll back increased taxes on corporations, wealthy
He said "rolling back" the increase in corporate taxes and income taxes on the wealthy just approved by Cuomo and the Legislature would also be a top priority.
Giuliani said the high tax and anti-business environment "is one of the reasons New York is losing people."
