How to Write In a Candidate — And Why It Matters Now New York elections are supposed to be about choice. Too often, they aren’t. Every cycle, millions of New Yorkers stay home—not because they don’t care, but because the ballot doesn’t reflect them. The same party-approved names. The same donors. The same outcomes. That’s where a write-in vote matters. 🗳️ How to Write In a Name (It’s Simple) 1. Go to your ballot on Election Day 2. Find the “Write-In” line for Governor 3. Clearly write: Jason S. Arnold 4. Fill in the oval or box next to the write-in line That’s it. Your vote counts the same as any other. Why This Movement Matters Right Now We’re living through a moment where: • Trust in government is at historic lows • Voters feel trapped between two parties that answer to donors first • Real issues—affordability, safety, energy, housing, childcare—are talked about endlessly but fixed rarely • Accountability disappears once elections are over A write-in campaign isn’t about symbolism. It’s about restoring leverage to voters. It says: • We don’t accept pre-approved choices • We don’t need permission to participate • We expect transparency, execution, and accountability New York has a long history of protest elections—moments when voters reminded the system who it works for. The Great Write-In of 2026 is about doing that again, peacefully, legally, and clearly. No corporate money. No party gatekeepers. Just people using the power they already have. If you’ve ever said “there has to be a better option”—this is how you make that real. Write it in. Make it count. 👉 Learn more at JSA2026.com #WriteInJason #TheGreatWriteIn #NYGov2026 #TakeBackNewYork

Why write-in? Because New York understands protest elections — the kind that tell political gatekeepers we’re done asking permission. I voted for Trump twice and supported him when I believed it was right — but character, transparency, and accountability still matter. New York deserves better than recycled insiders and fake choices. No corporate money. No lobbyists. Just people power. My full, detailed blueprint is live at jsa2026.com: • End property-tax slavery (homestead protections + voter-consent caps) • Max penalties for crimes against women and children (no plea deals, lifetime monitoring) • Nuclear NY — clean, cheap power + union jobs • Fix the MTA, affordable daycare through SUNY/CUNY, fair maps to end gerrymandering • Women’s equity, real mental-health reform, and liberty protections (gold/silver tender, no CBDCs) Execution paths included. Hold me accountable. This is about taking New York back — safer streets, lower taxes, and dignity for everyone. Upstate. Downstate. Suburbs. If half the state chips in $5, we fund this fight without selling out. Small donors = real change. #WriteInJason #NYGov2026 #TheGreatWriteIn

Ending Sanctuary Chaos in New York — The Right Way New York needs to calm this down and get back to law, order, and humanity — not chaos from either side. I just released my full policy on Ending Sanctuary Cities in New York, and I want to be crystal clear about what this is and what it is not. 🔗 Read the full policy here: https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-nys-ending-sanctuary-cities-in-new-york-upholding-the-rule-of-law-and-protecting-our-communities/ This plan does three things at once, which most politicians refuse to even try: 1️⃣ Protects New Yorkers from Lawless Enforcement No masked agents. No unmarked vans. No people being snatched off the street without warrants. If ICE wants to act in New York, they will do it through courts, with warrants, and with transparency. Period. 2️⃣ Ends Criminal Sanctuary Policies If you are in New York illegally and you commit a crime, you will not be protected by politics. Criminal offenders will be turned over to ICE from jail, not released back into our communities. That’s not cruelty — that’s accountability. 3️⃣ Restores Order Without Fear Enforcement belongs in the system: • Courts • Warrants • Precincts • Jails Not in neighborhoods. Not in schools. Not in front of children. This approach reduces violence, protects officers, and keeps families from living in constant fear. ⸻ This is not a far-right plan. This is not a far-left plan. This is a New York plan. You can protect civil liberties and enforce the law. You can reject chaos and reject lawlessness. You can be humane and serious. Albany refuses to do this because chaos is good politics for them. I’m running to end it. 🗽 Order. Safety. Dignity. New York First. “I’m not a good candidate — I’m the right one.

Statement on the Minnesota ICE Shooting I’ve watched the video carefully, from multiple angles, slowed down. This is not an easy call — and anyone pretending it is isn’t being honest. I understand the reality officers face. A vehicle can be a deadly weapon. In real time, fear and adrenaline matter. I’ve been on the other side of police encounters myself, and I don’t pretend I’d have handled every moment perfectly either. That said, use of deadly force is justified only while an immediate threat exists — and timing matters. What concerns me in this video is not that force was used, but when it was used. If an officer fires while still directly in the vehicle’s path, that’s one situation. But when the officer is already clear of the car, and the vehicle is on a trajectory away — the justification becomes far less clear. The additional shots fired from the side of the vehicle are especially troubling. At that point, the threat appears diminished, and force begins to look less like self-defense and more like an attempt to stop escape — which the law does not allow with deadly force. This doesn’t mean the officer is automatically guilty of a crime. It does mean the incident deserves serious, transparent review. We can support law enforcement and insist on standards that protect both officers and civilians. Those two things are not opposites — they’re how trust is built. No slogans. No rushing to judgment. Just facts, timing, and accountability

A Winnable Path for New York — Why an Independent Campaign Matters Now New York voters are tired of being told they only have two choices — and both are failing them. Based on recent public polling trends, voter registration data, and issue-based shifts we’re seeing across the state, it’s clear that a large and growing share of New Yorkers no longer feel represented by either major party. That frustration is not theoretical. It shows up in turnout, trust levels, and issue priorities — from affordability and public safety to foreign policy and government accountability. While early head-to-head polls between the Democratic and Republican frontrunners show a familiar two-party split, those same polls also reveal something important: neither side is consolidating a true majority, and enthusiasm remains soft. That’s where an independent campaign becomes viable. What the data tells us When voters are modeled in a three-way race — Democrat, Republican, and a serious independent option — the landscape changes: • A large independent bloc emerges that is not loyal to either party • Significant numbers of Democrats and Republicans express openness to an alternative focused on results, not party talking points • The leading candidates’ support shows a clear ceiling, while the independent lane shows room to grow This isn’t about slogans or personality politics. It’s about math, turnout, and trust. Why this campaign connects This campaign is resonating because it speaks to voters who feel ignored: • New Yorkers crushed by the cost of living • Families worried about safety but tired of empty rhetoric • Voters uneasy with endless political dysfunction and foreign entanglements • Independents, moderates, and working-class voters who don’t see themselves in party leadership anymore I’m not running as “anti-Democrat” or “anti-Republican.” I’m running for New Yorkers — with published plans, clear execution paths, and accountability that doesn’t depend on party loyalty. This race is winnable — together No independent wins alone. This path only works if New Yorkers come together across boroughs, regions, and backgrounds to demand something better than the same recycled choices. If we unite around affordability, safety, dignity, and honest government — and refuse to be divided into red vs. blue — this race becomes competitive and winnable. That’s not hype. That’s math, momentum, and reality. New York doesn’t need louder politics. It needs better leadership. Jason S. Arnold Independent Candidate for Governor of New York

Official Statement from Jason S. Arnold On U.S. Actions Involving Venezuela There is a lot of noise right now surrounding Venezuela, and I want to be clear and honest about where I stand. I do not believe this situation has ever truly been about drugs. Venezuela sits on some of the largest proven oil reserves in the world, and history tells us that energy, leverage, and geopolitics have always been at the center of U.S. involvement there. I am also deeply concerned by reports that the United States has unilaterally entered another country, captured a sitting head of state, and brought him to the U.S. to face charges. Even if a foreign leader is corrupt or criminal, there are international institutions and legal mechanisms designed to handle those situations. When the United States bypasses them and acts alone, we weaken the rule of law we claim to stand for and set dangerous precedents that can be used against us in the future. America should be strong — but strength does not mean acting as the world’s police, judge, and jailer. As Governor of New York, my focus is on protecting New Yorkers, restoring affordability, and rebuilding trust in government through transparency and restraint. Endless foreign entanglements, selective morality, and actions driven by resource politics do not serve the people of this state or this country. We can stand for justice without abandoning due process. We can pursue accountability without becoming reckless. And we can defend American interests without pretending every intervention is righteous. That is the standard I believe in — and the standard I will hold. Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor of New York “I’m not a good candidate — I’m the right one.”

I was once asked why I wanted to be involved in politics. I paused—because the real answer wasn’t something you rehearse. I’ve lived inside systems that didn’t work. Systems that punished, ignored, or discarded people instead of fixing what was broken. When you live that long enough, you stop being afraid of dysfunction—you learn how to recognize it. So the question became: where can disruption actually do good? Where can you challenge power, expose failure, and force reform—without destroying yourself or the people around you? For me, the answer was politics. Not chaos. Accountability. Not tearing things down—but refusing to pretend broken systems are fine because they’re familiar. BETTR exists for the people who know the difference. The ones who’ve lived with consequences, learned from them, and still believe things can be fixed—if we’re finally honest enough to try. I’m not here to perform politics. I’m here to do the work polite conversations keep avoiding. — Jason S. Arnold Founder, BETTR Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026)

December 19, 2025 A Note on Leadership, Service, and What Comes Next To Elise Stefanik, Stepping away from a race doesn’t erase the work you’ve done or the people you’ve represented. Public service is rarely clean, rarely simple, and almost never appreciated in real time. Anyone who’s been in the arena knows that. New York is at a moment where pride, party lines, and old habits can’t be the priority anymore. What matters now is whether those with experience and influence are willing to put New Yorkers first—together, even when we don’t agree on everything. This isn’t a goodbye. It’s an open door. If the goal is a stronger, more stable New York—one that works for families, workers, and communities who feel left behind—then collaboration matters more than labels. BETTR exists because people are exhausted by division and hungry for honesty, accountability, and solutions. There’s real work to be done. And there’s room at the table for anyone willing to do it. — Jason S. Arnold Founder, BETTR Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026)

How Israel Became Treated as a “Religious Obligation” in America This did not come from the Bible alone. It came from a modern political theology, built deliberately in the United States. ⸻ 1. The Bible Does Not Command Unconditional Support of a Modern State This is the first truth that gets buried. • The Bible speaks of the land of Israel in ancient, covenantal terms • It does not command Christians to: • Fund a modern government • Support wars unconditionally • Suspend moral judgment of state actions Jesus never instructed: • Rome to fund Judea • Christians to back political power • Blind loyalty to governments using God’s name In fact, Christ consistently challenged political-religious authority, not endorsed it. So the idea that: “If you’re Christian, you must support the modern State of Israel” is not biblical doctrine. It is political theology. ⸻ 2. Where This Idea Actually Came From: American Christian Zionism The belief you’re describing took shape in the late 1800s and early 1900s, mainly in America and Britain. Key source: • Dispensationalism — a theological framework • Popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible (1909) This theology taught: • The return of Jews to Israel was required for end-times prophecy • Supporting Israel became part of “God’s plan” • Political events were framed as divine necessity Important: This belief is not universal Christianity It is one interpretation, heavily American, heavily modern. Most Christians globally — Catholic, Orthodox, many Protestants — do not hold this view. ⸻ 3. How Politics Locked It In After 1948 After Israel became a state: • The U.S. saw Israel as a strategic Cold War ally • Evangelical leaders framed support as biblical obedience • Politicians fused: • National security • Religious loyalty • Moral guilt Result: Opposing Israeli policy became framed as opposing God. That framing was politically useful, not theologically required. ⸻ 4. How Guilt Became the Enforcement Tool Over time, the messaging hardened into absolutes: • “If you criticize Israel, you’re anti-Christian” • “If you question aid, you’re antisemitic” • “If you don’t support every war, you don’t believe the Bible” That pressure forces silence, not faith. And it does something dangerous: • It weaponizes religion • It removes moral accountability • It erases Palestinian Christians, who are rarely mentioned ⸻ 5. The Missing Truth Most Americans Never Hear There are: • Christian Palestinians • Jewish Israelis who oppose their government • American Jews who reject unconditional support But their voices are inconvenient — so they’re pushed out. The conflict is framed as: God vs enemies Instead of: Governments vs people caught in between ⸻ 6. The Honest American Position (Without Religious Guilt) An American — Christian or not — can say this truthfully: “I respect Israel’s right to exist. I respect Judaism. But no government gets a blank check — financial, moral, or military — because of religion.” That position: • Is pro-faith • Is pro-human life • Is pro-American sovereignty • Is anti-propaganda That’s not betrayal. That’s responsibility. ⸻ Where did the connection come from? 👉 Not from Jesus 👉 Not from biblical command 👉 Not from ancient Christianity It came from: • Modern American theology • Cold War geopolitics • Political fundraising • Fear-based messaging And once religion was tied to loyalty, questioning became taboo. ⸻ Why This Matters for Leadership New York is home to: • Jews • Muslims • Christians • Atheists • Immigrants from every side of this conflict Leadership means lowering the temperature, not exploiting faith. ⸻ Bottom Line Faith should guide conscience — not silence it. Governments should answer to people — not hide behind God. That’s the line that has been crossed. ⸻ Date: December 12, 2025 Campaign: Jason S. Arnold for Governor of New York (2026)

Nine Years in Congress — Nothing for New Yorkers After nearly a decade in Washington, Elise Stefanik can’t point to one major piece of legislation, reform, or initiative that has improved life for the people of New York. Not for small businesses, not for working families, not for veterans, farmers, or first responders. What she’s built is a national profile — not a record of results. Elise Stefanik has been in Congress since 2015. In that time, New York has faced rising costs, declining population, and deepening divisions — yet nothing in her record shows real change for the people who live here. There’s no comprehensive jobs plan. No statewide infrastructure success. No signature education, housing, or energy initiative with her name on it. For nine years, she’s been on television — not on task. Her focus has been national politics, not New York priorities. Leadership isn’t about sound bites; it’s about solutions. If you’ve spent nearly a decade in Congress and New Yorkers are still waiting for results, then maybe it’s time to admit you weren’t sent there to represent them — you were sent there to represent yourself. It’s time to bring leadership home. It’s time to rebuild New York with vision, accountability, and courage. #JSA2026 #NewYork #Leadership #Accountability #TurnNYRed #NYPolitics #ForThePeople 👉 JSA2026.com Jason S.
