Where does David Siffert stand on the issues?

David Siffert's campaign lists two priority issues. Civoren has not yet recorded a stance on any of them.

Housing & Development
“Half of all New Yorkers are rent burdened. Families who've lived in our neighborhoods for generations are being pushed out by skyrocketing costs. We don't need more half-measures. We need real investment and real protections.”

Immigration
“Donald Trump has unleashed a secret police across America. Families are being torn apart. Our neighbors are afraid to walk their kids to school, afraid to go to work, afraid to seek medical care. New York must refuse to participate in these human rights abuses and actively resist them.”
