MEET JOE

rs=w_1300,h_800 (1)_edited.jpg

WHERE I COME FROM

I've lived in Rotterdam and Schenectady most of my life. I went into business with my dad and brothers twenty years ago as Sahr's Poultry, now Mastroianni Foods. In that time we built a distribution company that services restaurants with the finest quality products throughout the Capitol District.

 

During Covid, I became more involved politically and ran for office. I have been serving on the Rotterdam Town Board for the last two and a half years and I have realized I have a skill set from working with my strong-willed father and brothers, that has served me well working with divergent perspectives, finding consensus, and compromising to forge ahead– while not letting my ego or belief system prevent progress.

 

I follow Jesus but believe religious authorities should have no power over any of us, and in turn, the government should have no influence over what any of us believe. That is the definition of freedom, liberty, and the separation of church and state.

 

As a small business owner, I favor limited government subservient to our Rights enshrined in the Constitution. For that reason I am proud to be an American, and have been coming to understand that a government of, by, and for the people, implies our responsibility and involvement. 

 

Ghandi said "be the change you want to see in the world." I don't want to simply complain about how bad New York State is, I want to change it. Join this Campaign to bring the government back to the people!

The Fighter We Need

Why I'm Running

New York State has been the leading edge of the most radical ideas and spending in the country. Both chambers of the Legislature are farces of one-party supermajorities.

 

I am the only third party candidate running for any of the 150 seats in the Assembly. We need balance, new perspectives, new blood, and better representation. Our community deserves inflation relief at the gas pump, grocery store, and energy bills. And most importantly, our children deserve classrooms where politics are left at the door.

​

Become part of our movement, spread the word, let's take back our government, and let's take back the Empire State.

​

As your candidate, I am committed to:

  • Securing our borders and ending Sanctuary policies that are devastating our communities.

  • Making New York more affordable and reining in government spending.

  • Creating an environment where small businesses can thrive and have opportunities for success.

 

I am ready to fight for our community. Together, we can build a stronger, more prosperous 111th NY Assembly District for all its residents.
