📊 New Mock Poll: Why Jason S. Arnold is the Only Candidate Who Can Actually Compete Statewide A mock NYS poll using real turnout patterns and past Siena/Marist data shows: • Hochul vs. Stefanik: Hochul +13 (48–35) — Stefanik can’t close the gap. • Hochul vs. Jason S. Arnold: Hochul +6 (44–38) — within striking distance. • Independents: Arnold leads at 28% vs Hochul 34% & Stefanik 24%. • Favorables: Arnold 24% favorable / 16% unfavorable / 60% unfamiliar — lowest negatives, biggest upside. • Top Issue Ownership: Arnold edges both on cost of living, housing, and public safety. Regional Strengths: • Suburbs: Competitive with Hochul & Stefanik, strong growth lane. • Upstate: 11% as “other” — enough to swing tight races. • NYC outer boroughs: Safety & cost-of-living pitch beats party labels. What It Means: Voters want real plans, not slogans. Transparency wins. And the data shows Jason S. Arnold is the only one who can take Hochul down to single digits and still grow. 🔗 Full vision here: https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-full-vision-post-what-well-do-for-life-in-new-york/ #JSA2026 #NYGovernor #TurnNYRed #Poll #NYS

New York’s Daycare Crisis: Why Parents Can’t Afford to Work — And How We’ll Fix It Daycare costs in New York are out of control — averaging over $2,000 a month in NYC and more than $1,200 upstate. Parents are forced out of the workforce, waitlists stretch for months, and entire counties are childcare deserts. This isn’t just a family issue — it’s an economic one. Our plan — the New York Childcare Freedom Act — cuts costs, expands vouchers, boosts daycare worker pay, and opens more spots fast. We’ll model proven solutions from states like Vermont, New Mexico, and Washington, adapting them to work here in New York.

Ending Sanctuary Cities in New York: Why It’s Wrong, Illegal — and How We’ll Stop It Sanctuary city policies aren’t compassion — they’re chaos. They defy federal law (8 U.S.C. § 1373), protect criminals from deportation, and cost New Yorkers billions every year. NYC alone spent $4.6 billion in 2023 sheltering undocumented migrants — money that should’ve gone to schools, safety, and infrastructure. As Governor, Jason S. Arnold will: • Ban sanctuary policies statewide — tie compliance to state funding. • Mandate full cooperation with ICE — stop releasing violent offenders. • Launch a Governor’s Task Force — audit, enforce, and publish results. • Put public safety first — protect families, respect the law. New York must be a sanctuary for citizens and legal immigrants — not lawlessness. 🔗 Full plan here: https://jsa2026.com #JSA2026 #NYGovernor #SanctuaryCities #PublicSafety #RuleOfLaw

New York Doesn’t Need More Flood Warnings — It Needs Flood Fixes Every storm, the same message: Stay home. Be careful. Expect flooding. But warnings don’t stop the water. Subways fill. Streets turn into rivers. Basements collapse. Lives are lost. The truth? New York’s flood infrastructure is decades behind, and politicians keep kicking the can down the road with press conferences instead of prevention. ⸻ Our Plan: Fix It Before It Fails • Modern drainage systems: Upgrade 19th-century sewers, add underground retention tanks, and deploy pumping stations in low-lying neighborhoods. • Green flood barriers: Permeable pavement, rain gardens, and bioswales to absorb stormwater where it falls. • Smart tech monitoring: Real-time flood sensors and AI-driven modeling to predict and prevent disaster. • Unified response: City and state agencies working together — not in silos — with full public transparency. ⸻ Read the Full Flood Prevention Plan Ending Flood Mismanagement – Proactive Solutions for a Safer New York https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-nys-ending-flood-mismanagement-proactive-solutions-for-a-safer-new-york/ ⸻ Join the Movement No more excuses.

Midtown Shooting: Are We Missing the Real Story? The tragedy in Midtown Manhattan that left four people dead—including Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner—was immediately labeled as an NFL‑related grievance. The suspect, Shane Tamura, reportedly left a suicide note blaming the league for brain injuries, despite only ever playing high‑school football. But key questions remain unanswered: • Why target NFL offices when Tamura had no ties to the league? • Why did his route and actions lead him directly into a building housing Blackstone executives? • Why has critical evidence—like full security footage, ballistic reports, and elevator access logs—still not been released? • Could the narrative about the NFL grievance be misdirection masking another motive? High‑profile corporate and political interests intersect in this case. Without transparency, speculation will only grow. New Yorkers deserve full disclosure and an investigation untainted by institutional influence. ⸻ Join the Conversation Should every major shooting investigation release its surveillance footage and key evidence to the public? Would this prevent conspiracy theories—or expose uncomfortable truths? ⸻ #BETTR #NYC #MidtownShooting #Transparency #Blackstone #NFL #CTE

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.

🚨 Trump Threatens NYC Mayoral Candidate with Arrest, Deportation, and Defunding Former President Donald Trump launched a stunning attack on Zohran Mamdani, threatening arrest, citizenship revocation, and cutting federal funds if the progressive mayoral candidate doesn’t “behave.” Trump called Mamdani a “communist lunatic” and said, “We don’t need a communist in this country.” 📍 Mamdani, a naturalized U.S. citizen, vowed to resist: “We will not accept this intimidation.” 💬 These threats come amid Trump’s backing of Independent candidate Eric Adams—and it’s clear this race is just heating up. 🧨 And this isn’t the end.

🚨 DAY ONE: JASON S. ARNOLD WILL BLOCK RADICAL NYC POLICIES UNDER MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI Published: June 25, 2025 📍 Office of the JSA2026 Campaign 📞 Contact: (516) 586-0660 🔗 JSA2026.com ⸻ If Zohran Mamdani becomes Mayor of New York City, I will not hesitate to act on Day One as Governor of New York. That’s why I’m announcing my first official executive order — the NYC Oversight and Sovereignty Defense Directive — to protect New Yorkers from the wave of dangerous policies we’re already seeing take shape. ⸻ 🔹 NYC Is Not London — And Won’t Be Under My Watch We’ve seen what happens in cities like London when radical, out-of-touch leadership takes control: • Speech crimes for online posts • ESG fines crushing working-class drivers • Public dollars funding unchecked migration policies • Green zones and digital tracking disguised as “climate action” That won’t happen in New York. Not on my watch. ⸻ 🔹 My Executive Order Will: ✅ Preempt harmful NYC regulations that violate the U.S. or NYS Constitution ✅ Block city policies that use state funds to subsidize illegal immigration or climate penalties ✅ Freeze reimbursements to city departments that push unconstitutional mandates ✅ Launch a public reporting hotline for citizens to expose NYC government abuse ✅ Deploy NY State Police if lawful businesses or citizens are being threatened or abandoned ✅ Track and challenge all radical city ordinances through a real-time watchlist ⸻ 🔹 If Mamdani Wins, Albany Will Become NYC’s Firewall New York needs a Governor who’s not afraid to check the unchecked. This executive order will restore balance between the state and its cities — and send a clear message to all mayors, agencies, and activists: Your ideology does not override our Constitution. ⸻ 🔹 Final Word I don’t want to fight with New York City — I want to protect it. But if its leaders attempt to turn it into a globalist experiment, I will act decisively and immediately. On Day One, I won’t just take office. I’ll take a stand. ⸻ Jason S.

JSA2026 NYC Mayoral Endorsement: Backing Curtis Sliwa — With Conditions By Jason S. Arnold, Candidate for Governor of New York (2026) 📍 Published: June 25, 2025 📞 Campaign Contact: (516) 586-0660 🌐 Website: www.JSA2026.com ⸻ As a candidate for Governor of New York, I never intended to step into the NYC 2025 mayoral race. But given the direction this race is heading — and what’s truly at stake — I have no choice but to speak now, clearly and decisively. I’m endorsing Curtis Sliwa for Mayor of New York City. It’s not about party loyalty — it’s about leadership, accountability, and putting the city’s safety and sanity above personal political gain. Curtis has been a fighter for decades. He understands crime prevention, urban decay, and community rebuilding in a way few others do. He’s not beholden to lobbyists, corporations, or political dynasties. He shows up — in the streets, in the news, and in the neighborhoods that others ignore. But if Curtis doesn’t win, I need to be honest with you: I’ll take Andrew Cuomo over Zohran Mamdani every time. Why? Because Zohran Mamdani just recently became a U.S. citizen. I respect immigration. I respect the right to run. But I do not believe someone who only recently earned the rights of citizenship should immediately be given the reins of America’s largest city. This isn’t anti-immigrant — it’s pro-reality. The Mayor of New York isn’t just a manager. It’s a symbol of American resilience, grit, and continuity. That requires deep roots — not recent paperwork. So here’s where I stand: • ✅ Curtis Sliwa is my endorsement. • ⚠️ If he falls short, I’d rather work with Cuomo than see an untested, ideologically extreme newcomer in charge. • ❌ Zohran Mamdani may be qualified on paper, but New York City needs more than a résumé — it needs experience, loyalty, and wisdom. New Yorkers are about to make a decision that impacts the whole country. And as someone who hopes to lead this state starting in 2026, I want you to know where I stand before the general election begins. This isn’t about politics. It’s about principle. — Jason S.
