Campaign websiteSchlossberg's campaign website stated the following:Jack's Housing Fairness PlanNY's Problem:New Yorkers are being squeezed by rising housing costs, broken public housing systems, and unfair tax policies.Renters get no tax relief, NYCHA residents wait months for repairs, and homeowners are punished by the SALT cap. The city is becoming UNLIVABLE for too many New Yorkers.Jack's Solution:For Renters: Jack will create a federal renter tax credit to put thousands of dollars back in renters’ pockets each year.For NYCHA Residents: Jack will launch the Fix-It-Now Caucus to speed up repairs, improve accountability, and ensure NYCHA residents have safe, livable housing.For Homeowners: Jack will completely repeal the SALT cap, lowering federal taxes for New York homeowners.The Result:Tax Credit for Renters + Fast Repairs for NYCHA Residents + Tax Relief for Owners↓A housing system that supports every New Yorker, no matter how they live.The Ricochet Rule: Gun Safety for New York 12NY's Problem:New York has done its part to pass strong gun safety laws, but those efforts are undermined by weak laws in other states.Most guns used in New York crimes come from out of state, trafficked in from places with softer gun control. Between 2017 and 2021, 80% of guns recovered from New York crime scenes had crossed state lines.Other states’ failures shouldn’t put our communities at risk.Jack's Solution:Jack’s Ricochet Rule holds states accountable for exporting gun violence.Jack would impose federal penalties on states whose firearms are found at New York crime scenes and fund a joint ATF–DOJ task force to target trafficking networks and enforce the law across state lines.The Result:Fewer illegal guns. Stronger enforcement. Safer communities.Not just in New York. Everywhere.Jack's Fast Track Plan to Protect Houses of WorshipNY's Problem:Surging antisemitism, Islamophobia, and religious hatred have led to more threats, more violence, and more fear for faith communities across the country.Too many Americans are forced to worry about their safety simply for practicing their faith. Our leaders must step up to ensure that no American feels unsafe practicing their faith.Jack's Solution:Jack’s Fast Track Plan would double funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to protect houses of worship and vulnerable nonprofits.Jack would fast-track legislation to the House floor to cut delays and deliver security funding now, not after another tragedy.The Result:Religious freedom protected in practice, not just in principle.Jack's Economic Policy: Freezing Trump's TariffsNY's Problem:Trump’s tariffs on food and clothing act as a regressive tax on ordinary Americans, hitting low- and middle-income families the hardest.At a time of soaring living costs, these tariffs have driven prices higher on everyday essentials, costing the average American up to $2,400 a year. These tariffs punish families for buying the necessities of daily life.Jack's Solution:Jack would introduce legislation to outlaw President Trump’s tariffs on food and clothing.Jack would work across party lines, leveraging growing Republican concern over tariffs to build bipartisan support and bring the bill to passage, ending a policy that punishes consumers and drives up costs.The Result:Lower prices. Stronger purchasing power. Real relief for families.— Jack Schlossberg's campaign website (April 2, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
