Why Caroline Shinkle is Running
I am running for Congress as a Republican to give voters in Manhattan a real choice on the ballot. It is time to resurrect the power of private enterprise and common sense thinking and deliver tangible solutions to the outrageous cost of living in New York City.
I believe in pro-growth, pro-business, pro-worker economic policies that will generate unbridled opportunity for New Yorkers. This means letting people keep more of what they earn, letting people choose how to invest their time and resources, and rewarding those who work for a living.
New York City once spoke to those looking for hope as a beacon of opportunity. Not the hope that the government would take control of you. But the promise that, through economic freedom, anything was possible.
America's City
I love NYC too much to give up on it
I believe that New York City is America's city. From Seattle to Sarasota, I believe that America has a strategic interest in maintaining the vibrancy of New York City and preserving the Big Apple as the center of global enterprise. None of us can afford to write off New York City, and as New Yorkers, we have a duty to preserve New York City as the center of Western civilization.
I have traveled to all 50 states of our beautiful country and have found that there is much more that unites us than divides us. I believe that the vast majority of Americans are focused on providing for their family, protecting their children, and ensuring their children have the opportunity to pursue their version of the American Dream.
