With Election Day approaching, Black Westchester Magazine sits down for an exclusive interview with Nassau County Executive and Republican candidate for New York Governor Bruce Blakeman.
Publisher Damon K. Jones goes beyond the usual political talking points to ask Blakeman direct questions about the issues affecting New York’s working families and the Black middle class.
In this exclusive interview, we discuss:
- Affordability: Rising property taxes, utility bills, and E-ZPass tolls.
- Homeownership: Making homeownership affordable and building generational wealth.
- Education and Jobs: Skilled trades, vocational training, apprenticeships, and artificial intelligence.
- Black Business Development: Access to capital, government contracts, and economic opportunities.
- Public Safety: Crime, police accountability, correction officers, and the HALT Act.
- Immigration and Spending: New York’s budget priorities and government accountability.
THE BIG QUESTION:
What specific policies would Bruce Blakeman implement to improve the economic future of Black New Yorkers, and how would his administration be held accountable for delivering results?
This is an opportunity to hear directly from a candidate seeking to lead New York State for the next four years.
