Independent Isn’t a Party — it’s a mindset. I just launched a new podcast focused on something missing from politics today: accountability from both sides. No party talking points. No media spin. Just real conversations about what Democrats and Republicans are doing — and how it actually affects New Yorkers. If you’re tired of choosing between two sides that don’t always represent you, this show is for you. 🎧 First episode is live now: 👉 independentinstaparty.com Join the movement, not the machine. #IndependentVoice #NYPolitics #JSA2026 #AccountabilityMatters #IndependentVoters

Today we honor George Washington. Not just a general. Not just the first President. But a man who chose principle over power. Washington could have ruled for life. He could have made himself king. Instead, he stepped down — proving that leadership in America belongs to the people, not to a throne. That decision shaped our Republic. Presidents Day isn’t about parties. It’s about restraint. Integrity. Duty. It’s about remembering that government answers to citizens — not the other way around. In 2026, New Yorkers face a simple question: Are we voting out of habit? Or are we voting with purpose? The Great Write-In isn’t about rebellion for rebellion’s sake. It’s about restoring the idea that power flows upward — from everyday people — just like Washington believed. He warned us about factionalism and political parties dividing the nation. Maybe it’s time we listened. 🇺🇸 Jason S. Arnold Write-In Candidate for Governor JSA2026.com #PresidentsDay #GeorgeWashington #TheGreatWriteIn #NYGov2026 #WriteInJason

Official: This video isn’t about a song. It’s about the millions of New Yorkers who won’t vote because the system tells them their choices don’t matter. If the sound gets muted or the clip disappears, the message doesn’t. I’m running as a write-in candidate for Governor because New York deserves a choice — and choices don’t need permission. The Great Write-In of 2026 is bigger than any platform. 🔗 https://jsa2026.com #TheGreatWriteIn #WriteInJason #IVotedBecause #NYGov2026 Credit: @RATMofficial — thank you for decades of music that challenged power and woke people up.

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

🚀 We’re back up and running. The JSA2026 site is now live on an upgraded server with a brand-new, fluid, easy-to-read homepage built for real New Yorkers—not political insiders. No clutter. No spin. Just clear ideas, real plans, and full transparency. 👉 Check it out today: https://jsa2026.com New York deserves a real choice in 2026. This is how we start. — Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor of New York #JSA2026 #TheGreatWriteIn #NYGov2026 #NewYorkPolitics

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

New York Has a Paid-Information Problem — And We’re Finally Addressing It Right now, a massive amount of what New Yorkers see, hear, and believe is being shaped by paid influence masquerading as organic content. Not journalism. Not opinion. Paid persuasion without disclosure. Social media has become a marketplace where outrage, misinformation, and sexualized content are rewarded by algorithms and cash—while parents, kids, and working people are left to sort out what’s real on their own. That’s not free speech. That’s undisclosed commercial influence. And New York has every right—and responsibility—to deal with it. The Problem • Over one-third of Americans now get news directly from social media platforms. • A majority of younger users say they receive “news” from influencers, not reporters. • Paid content is routinely not disclosed, even when money or incentives are clearly involved. • Children are being exposed to algorithm-driven content that rewards dysfunction, not discipline. • Fake outrage, rage-bait, manipulated clips, and click-farm content are financially incentivized. We already regulate: • Advertising • Campaign finance • Consumer fraud • Gambling, alcohol, and tobacco marketing But somehow, paid digital influence gets a free pass. That ends now. The Policy: NYS Digital Transparency & Youth Protection Act This policy does not censor speech. It does not ban opinions. It does not target ideology. It does one simple thing: If you are paid to influence New Yorkers, the public has a right to know. Key components include: • Mandatory Paid-Influence Disclosure Clear, unavoidable labels when money, compensation, or incentives are involved. • Ban on “Stealth Sponsored News” If content is paid for, it cannot be presented as independent reporting. • Public Transparency Portal A searchable archive of major paid influence campaigns targeting NY residents. • Enforcement Against Deceptive Engagement Fake reviews, bot amplification, hidden sponsorships, and fraudulent marketing treated as consumer deception. • Youth Protections Limits on algorithmic amplification and targeted advertising on state-managed school networks and devices. • Deepfake & Synthetic Media Safeguards Penalties for materially deceptive synthetic content used to mislead or manipulate. • Digital Literacy Tools Teach people—especially kids—how to spot manipulation, rage-bait, and paid deception. Why This Matters You can say whatever you want in New York. You can criticize me, support me, hate me, or ignore me. But if you’re being paid to push something, that’s no longer just speech—it’s commerce. And commerce has rules. This policy restores trust, transparency, and personal responsibility to the digital public square—without turning the government into a speech referee. This Is About the Future A society where: • Kids think work is optional • Truth is secondary to clicks • Outrage is profitable • Deception is rewarded …is not sustainable. New York can lead the country by proving you don’t need censorship to restore order—just honesty, disclosure, and enforcement of existing principles in a modern world.

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.

🦃 A Thanksgiving Message to New York From Jason S. Arnold — Candidate for Governor of New York State “I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.” Today isn’t just about a meal — it’s about remembrance. Remembrance of how far we’ve come, what we’ve survived, and who we still carry with us in spirit. Thanksgiving is a moment where families gather, communities pause, and we recognize the quiet truth that gets drowned out the rest of the year: We are stronger when we stand together, and weaker when politics divides us. This year, let us give thanks for: • The families who hold each other up during hard times • The workers who keep New York moving while others rest • The service members and first responders who never get holidays off • The neighbors who give more than they take • And every New Yorker who still believes we can build something better than what the establishment has given us We lift up those we’ve lost, honor those still fighting their battles, and extend a hand to anyone spending today alone. Nobody should be forgotten in a state as rich as ours. New York deserves leadership that remembers the people — not the donors. The 99 — not the one. Today, let your home be filled with peace, gratitude, and the hope that tomorrow can be different. From my family to yours: Happy Thanksgiving, New York. Stay safe, stay grateful, and stay united. — Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor, New York State 🌐 https://JSA2026.com #Thanksgiving2025 #NYStrong #BETTR #NewYorkTogether #JSA2026 #TheRightOne

If half of New Yorkers gave $10… and volunteered just a little of their time… we would wipe the floor with the establishment. No worries. No fear. No begging donors. No selling out. That’s the truth nobody in politics wants to admit: We don’t need billionaires. We don’t need lobbyists. We don’t need party machines. We just need New Yorkers who are fed up to stand together for once. Think about it: • 10 million adults in NY. • If just HALF gave $10, that’s $50,000,000 powered by the people — not a single special interest. • Add volunteers? We’d have the biggest grassroots political movement this state has ever seen. The establishment survives because people think they’re powerless. They are counting on you believing your $10 or your 1 hour doesn’t matter. But it does. If New Yorkers move together, nothing can stop us — not Albany, not the parties, not the insiders, not the political lifers who’ve been draining this state for decades. 10 bucks. A little time. A lot of heart. We fix this state ourselves. Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor of New York JSA2026.com

To Everyone Who Believes in What Zohran Stands For — New York Needs a Governor Who Fights the Same Fight To everyone who stood with Zohran Mamdani — organizers, tenants, students, working families, transit riders, small businesses, and every New Yorker who refuses to accept a government that forgets who it serves: Let me speak to you directly. If your vote was about changing the system, not maintaining it… If it was about power in the hands of real people, not donors… If it was about housing, affordability, justice, and dignity… — then you deserve a governor who carries that fight statewide. Hochul won’t do that. Her administration defends the same old Albany machinery that has made life harder for the people you fight for. Rents are up. Transit is broken. Budgets are bloated. Neighborhoods are ignored. And when working people demand change, she gives them task forces and press conferences. Elise won’t do that either. She talks like an outsider but operates like a D.C. insider. She has the same donor networks, the same political handlers, the same establishment backing the system uses to choke off new voices before they reach voters. Hochul protects the Albany machine. Elise protects the Washington machine. Neither protects the people who make New York run. But a governor should — and I will. I’m not part of their circles. I’m not owned by donors, consultants, or party elites. My loyalties are to the people who pay the price when Albany fails: working families, commuters, parents, renters, small-business owners, and every New Yorker crushed by the cost of simply existing here. That’s why I’ve put every plan on the table now — not after the election. Real policy, real math, real transparency, and a clear path to making life in New York possible again. If you supported Zohran because you want a government that works for EVERYONE — not the few — then I’m asking you to take a look at where I stand and why the establishment is trying to decide this race before you get a voice in it. Start here: 👉 Visit the homepage on JSA2026.com This isn’t a red-vs-blue fight. This is a people-vs-machine fight. And if you believe in the movement Zohran built… If you believe in neighborhoods over donors… If you believe in a New York where dignity is not optional — then you deserve a governor who fights that same fight. I intend to be that governor. — Jason S. Arnold
