Why Elise Stefanik Can’t Win New York in 2026 — And Why JSA2026 Is the Alternative Conservatives Deserve By Jason S. Arnold, Candidate for Governor of New York (JSA2026) 📞 (516) 586-0660 | 🌐 jsa2026.com | 💬 BETTR.community ⸻ Elise Stefanik is a rising star in national Republican politics — but when it comes to winning the 2026 governor’s race in New York, she’s not the candidate who can get it done. I say this with respect for everything she’s accomplished in Congress. But New York is not Washington, and voters here need a candidate who understands this state from the ground up — not from the top down. That’s why I’m running. My name is Jason S. Arnold, founder of BETTR, host of TurnNYRed.us, and candidate for Governor of New York in 2026 under the JSA2026 campaign. ⸻ 📉 The Math Doesn’t Add Up for Elise Stefanik Stefanik’s supporters say she can flip New York red. The numbers disagree: • New York hasn’t elected a Republican governor since George Pataki in 2002. • Elise Stefanik’s district (NY-21) represents under 2% of the state’s population. • Her statewide favorability among independents is below 30% according to recent Siena and Quinnipiac polling. • Downstate counties (NYC, Long Island, Westchester) account for 70%+ of the total vote — areas where she has no organizational base. Even in the red wave year of 2022, Republicans lost by nearly 350,000 votes statewide, despite strong turnout. We cannot run the same kind of candidate and expect different results. ⸻ 🎭 The Disconnect: Harvard Polishing vs. New York Grit Elise Stefanik went to Harvard, launched her career in the Bush White House, and has been in politics since her 20s. Again, no shame in that. But let’s be honest: You don’t go to Harvard today to become wise — you go to become managed. Stefanik talks about fighting for working-class New Yorkers, but she’s never lived in their neighborhoods. She’s never waited on line at the rent office. She’s never had to navigate broken public housing, underfunded schools, or family court hell. ⸻ 🏙️ Where I’ve Lived — The Real New York Since arriving in New York in 2002, I’ve lived in: • Manhattan: Chelsea, Times Square, Lower East Side, Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights • The Bronx: Hoe Avenue • Brooklyn: Bushwick, Sunset Park, Brooklyn Heights • Queens: Bellerose • Long Island: Franklin Square and Bethpage • Upstate: Rochester (Ninth Ward, Ridgeway, Garfield & Chilay) That’s over 20 years across every region of New York — living, working, surviving, and building. Not just polling and posting. “When you walk into a room and someone’s wearing too much perfume, you smell it — even if nobody else does. That’s me in New York. I see the things others have gone nose-blind to.” ⸻ ❌ Stefanik’s Record: Talking Points vs. Results Stefanik often campaigns as a fiscal conservative and civil libertarian, but her record doesn’t always match: • ✅ Voted for expanded FISA surveillance powers • ✅ Supported $100B+ in Ukraine aid while New York cities struggle • ✅ Backed massive COVID spending with no accountability • ❌ Never introduced a bill to fix NY schools • ❌ No action on NY property tax relief • ❌ No real plan to protect New Yorkers from federal mandates (CBDCs, digital IDs, lockdowns) ⸻ ✅ What I Stand For – The JSA2026 Platform I’m not backed by PACs. I’m backed by the people. My campaign policies include: • SEZ & LEZ education reform zones – putting parents back in charge • End property taxes on fully paid-off homes • New York Liberty & Survival Act – banning CBDCs, protecting food and water access, restoring local economic freedom • Universal emergency care access – no one denied help, no Medicaid trap • Family court reform – end corruption, restore balance • State anti-censorship shield law – protect speech in New York even if D.C. won’t These aren’t slogans — they’re legislative blueprints. ⸻ 🗳️ 2026 Is Too Important for a Safe Bet Elise Stefanik will be painted as a D.C. career politician no matter how much red she wears on stage. We’ve seen this movie before — and it ends in a blowout loss. JSA2026 offers something else: • Raw truth • Real-world experience • A fighter’s heart • A builder’s vision We can’t run someone who’s polling well inside party circles but collapsing statewide. We need a candidate who grew through the struggle — not someone who read about it in talking points. ⸻ 💬 Final Word I love New York. I’ve lived it. I’ve nearly died in it. And I’ve come back to fight for it. “I’m not a good candidate — I’m the right one.” – Jason S.

🚨 The “Rio Reset” Is a Marketing Scam — Not a Real Threat to the U.S. Dollar 🚨 Don’t fall for the fear-based gold rush. If you’ve been watching Real America’s Voice (RAV) or listening to right-wing influencers lately, you’ve probably heard about something called the “Rio Reset”—a supposed secret plan to collapse the U.S. dollar and install a new global currency. The fear pitch usually ends with one solution: Buy gold through Birch Gold Group or another metals dealer. Let’s break the truth down clearly: ⸻ 🧩 What Is the “Rio Reset” Really? There is no such official event, policy, or treaty named the “Rio Reset.” The term is pure marketing fiction—a buzzword used to stoke panic and push you into converting your IRA or 401(k) into physical gold through high-fee companies. It loosely references: • Ongoing BRICS discussions about reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar • General distrust in the Federal Reserve • Misrepresented global economic meetings (none of which used the term “Rio Reset”) But here’s the reality: There is no imminent plan to destroy the dollar overnight. ⸻ 🛑 What’s Actually Happening? • Yes, BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are exploring alternatives to the dollar—but they’ve been doing that for years with no real dent in dollar dominance. • The U.S. dollar still accounts for nearly 60% of global reserves (IMF, 2024). • Gold is a hedge, not a miracle. It does not generate dividends, compound interest, or solve national debt. ⸻ 🤔 Why Are They Pushing It So Hard? Because they’re getting paid to. Media networks like RAV are financially partnered with companies like Birch Gold. When you click that “protect your IRA” link or call their hotline, your favorite conservative host gets a kickback. This isn’t about saving you. It’s affiliate marketing masked as patriotic finance. ⸻ ⚠️ The Hidden Costs of Gold IRAs: • Setup fees, annual fees, and storage costs eat into your returns • Gold’s value fluctuates—it’s not a guaranteed “safe haven” • Liquidity is limited—you can’t just cash out like a stock • Most importantly: You’re buying out of fear, not strategy ⸻ ✅ BETTR Strategy, BETTR Thinking Here at BETTR, we believe in: • Transparency, not scare tactics • Empowerment through facts, not emotional manipulation • Long-term wealth creation, not doomsday prepping We’re not saying don’t own gold—we’re saying don’t get conned into paying a premium because some host told you “it’s the end of America.” ⸻ 🔎 Do your own research. Ask: • Who’s making money off your fear? • What’s the full breakdown of fees and liquidity options? • Is this really about protecting your family—or just enriching their sponsors? ⸻ 🧠 Don’t fall for the Rio Reset.

📰 PRESS RELEASE Jason S. Arnold Backs Presidential Child Savings Initiative—And Proposes a $500 Boost for All New York Newborns Date: June 10, 2025 Contact: (516) 586-0660 | jaysarnold@icloud.com Campaign Site: JSA2026.com Old Bethpage, NY — Jason S. Arnold, candidate for Governor of New York, released a statement today in support of the President’s proposed federal program to deposit $1,000 into a savings account for every child born in the United States. But Arnold says New York must do more—and under his administration, it will. “If Washington is putting up $1,000, New York will match it halfway. As Governor, I will allocate an additional $500 per newborn, deposited into the same secure savings account structure—giving every New York child a total of $1,500 to start life with dignity and direction.” Arnold emphasized that the $500 state contribution will be locked in until the child turns 18, with strict use guidelines: • College or trade school tuition • First-time home down payments • Small business startup capital Funds will not be available for withdrawal by parents or guardians and cannot be garnished, taxed, or redirected by the state. “We don’t need more ‘programs’—we need future-proofing. Every child born in New York deserves a financial head start, not just a Medicaid card and a flyer about broken systems.” This initiative will be part of the Every Child Empowered Act, Arnold’s broader education and opportunity agenda, which includes a tuition-free university campus, reform of child welfare services, and long-term wealth-building strategies for working families. “This is about respect. It’s about saying to every parent: ‘We see your child. We believe in their future. And we’re not just talking—we’re investing.’” The proposed plan will be fully detailed in Volume XII of the upcoming Commonwealth Budget Series, expected later this month. https://jsa2026.com/jason-s-arnold-backs-child-savings-initiative-with-500-state-match-jsa2026/
