Caroline Shinkle, Republican nominee for New York’s 12th Congressional District, speaking with Maria Maalouf on The Capitol Show: Her tax proposal: “I want to eliminate the federal income tax on W-2 wages up to $150,000.” How she proposes to fund it: “And we will achieve this by eliminating just the fraud that exists with respect to fraudulent health care claims alone.” On President Trump’s manufacturing agenda: “I think what President Trump has done in terms of wanting to incentivize domestic manufacturing and making sure that we’re creating those jobs onshore, that’s very important.” On trade: “I believe in free trade, absolutely. That is always the number one objective. But we all know that we can’t have free trade without fair trade.” On Washington’s influence on interest rates: “When people say, the Federal Reserve should lower rates in isolation, the Fed, of course, is independent. But what we can do in Washington is actually create the conditions to allow the Fed to do this.” @TheRealCShinkle @NewYorkGOP @Manhattan_GOP @HouseGOP @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @FinancialCmte @WaysandMeansGOP @RepJasonSmith @BillAckman

Caroline Shinkle, Republican nominee for New York’s 12th Congressional District, on The Capitol Show with Maria Maalouf: On federal funding for synagogue security: “We also have to do more in terms of strengthening the federal dollars that support synagogues in terms of the private security they have to bear the burden of themselves.” On safety for all communities: “Making sure that our Jewish community and all communities, for that matter, feel safe and have the opportunity to thrive.” On what she describes as the normalization of antisemitism: “It enables the agenda, it ratifies it, and it normalizes it. It says it’s okay to be anti-Semitic and we’ll reward that with political wins. And that’s not okay.” On political accountability: “So we need to send a strong signal that we’re not going to tolerate these kinds of politicians who spew this anti-Semitic hatred.” @TheRealCShinkle @NewYorkGOP @Manhattan_GOP @HouseGOP @RepMikeLawler @RepMariaSalazar @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @HouseForeignGOP @BillAckman

Caroline Shinkle, Republican nominee for New York’s 12th Congressional District, speaking with Maria Maalouf on The Capitol Show: On Iran and nuclear weapons: “Peace through strength, Maria. In my opinion, action in Iran was really 47 years overdue.” “So we could never allow a regime like the Iranian regime to develop a nuclear weapon.” On economic opportunity as part of foreign policy: “I also believe in peace through prosperity and make sure that we can continue to open access to foreign markets for American industry and American business to do business abroad. That’s critically important, too.” On American leadership and supporting allies: “We are a global superpower for a reason, and we have to use that power for good. And so that’s why I also believe in supporting our allies and strengthening our strategic partnerships around the world.” Asked about partnerships with the #UAE in investment, security, and economic cooperation: “I think it’s important. I think we have to pursue those strategies. We have to develop those partnerships. And look, as I mentioned, a peace through prosperity agenda goes hand in hand with a peace through strength agenda as well.” @TheRealCShinkle @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @HouseForeignGOP @RepMikeLawler @RepMariaSalazar @RepMcCaul @HouseGOP @NewYorkGOP @Manhattan_GOP
