Craig Johnson

How can I help you?

Welcome Friends!

Hello and Welcome to My Web site

This space is to keep the public informed of what I'm doing as your State Senator, as well as what I believe needs to be done to put New York State back on the right track.

In the few years I have been your representative, I've strived to be an independent voice that has worked hard to help Long Island and New York State through this fiscal crisis. Hard decisions had to be made to rescue this state from years of fiscally irresponsible borrow and spend policies.

However, throughout this process I have fought to continue investment in our communities and that our way of life on Long Island is protected.

Much work still needs to be done.

New York State government needs to be streamlined and fundamentally restructured. Costs needs to be contained and tax-hiking unfunded mandates need to be rolled back. Most importantly, our families and seniors need real tax relief.

These are goals that I am committed to seeing through.

But, I need your help and your continued support.

Together, we can face the challenges ahead and make Long Island stronger, safer, and more affordable.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail.

Sincerely,

Craig Johnson
State Senator, 7th District
