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

JSA2026 Puts Elise Stefanik Contrast Front and Center for 2026 NY Governor Race We’ve updated our campaign site to spotlight a comprehensive, fact-based breakdown of why Elise Stefanik cannot win statewide in New York—and why our affordability-first, math-driven JSA2026 campaign can. The homepage now features a prominent alert card linking directly to the full “Why Elise Can’t Win NY in 2026 — And Why I Can” analysis, alongside our full vision, Day-One Orders, and core policy platform. #JSA2026 #NYSGovernor #NYPolitics #EliseStefanik #Affordability #Independents #SuburbanVoters #BETTRNewswire https://jsa2026.com/why-elise-stefanik-cant-win-new-york-in-2026-and-why-i-can/ 📅 Updated: November 13, 2025 📍 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.

New York Needs Blueprints, Not Buzzwords Every cycle, we hear the same promises: tax cuts, jobs, schools. But New York doesn’t need more talk — it needs a plan that actually builds something. From education zones to mental-health reform to energy independence, the JSA 2026 platform lays out how we fix this state — in law, in practice, and in people’s lives. We’re not running on slogans; we’re running on solutions. The School Empowerment Zones, the Liberty & Survival Act, and the state civic platform are concrete policy paths — not tweets. While others talk in sound bites, we write the blueprints for change. That’s the difference between a candidate and a leader. If Elise Stefanik and the party machine want to follow, they’re welcome to. But New York will be built by those who show up with tools in hand. #JSA2026 #BlueprintForNewYork #RebuildNY #Leadership #TurnNYRed #NewYorkFuture JSA2026.com 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.

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.
