December 31, 2025 Happy New Year, New York ✨ As the clock turns, we pause—between what was and what can be. Another year of grit, resilience, and quiet strength. Another year where New Yorkers showed up for each other, even when it wasn’t easy. Tonight isn’t just about fireworks or countdowns. It’s about renewal. About choosing hope over fear, honesty over noise, and community over division. It’s about remembering that this state has always moved forward because ordinary people refused to give up on one another. Wherever you are—city lights, small towns, kitchens filled with laughter, or places of reflection—may the new year bring peace to your home, purpose to your days, and momentum to the work ahead. Here’s to building something BETTR together in 2026. With courage. With compassion. With each other. — Jason S. Arnold Founder, BETTR Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026
