Larry Sharpe (L) is a Bronx native, a Marine Corps veteran, an entrepreneur, and a management consultant with 15 years of experience mentoring international executives, entrepreneurs & sales people. He is also a teacher, previously serving as a guest instructor for business management and leadership at institutions such as Yale University, Columbia University, Baruch College and John Jay College. He is now running for Governor of New York in order to make education more effective through innovation, reform the criminal justice system to focus on rehabilitation, and build an economy that works for all of New York State.
The Three Pillars of Larry Sharpe’s Platform:
Economy:
Roll back regulations that stifle innovation and hurt small businesses, including regulations on blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and the Bit-Licensing that is hindering economic and technological growth in the state, bringing more jobs and revenue to the people of New York.
Cut unnecessary spending by reducing or eliminating unfunded mandates, which will allow the state to help struggling New Yorkers by cutting property taxes and eliminating income tax.
Create real revenue raisers that are not tax based. Encourage innovation in business as the Marketer-in-Chief.

Education:
Free teachers to develop curriculum that focus on skills employers need.
Introduce more options to education by exploring innovative alternatives like K-10 programs, vocational training, and more school choice.
Allow communities to decide what works best in their school district.

Criminal Justice:
Give second chances and support to non-violent offenders who still have a chance to be productive members of society, thereby reducing prison populations.
Lowering the prison populations will allow for more specialized rehabilitation through educational and vocational training, which can reduce recidivism.
Allow Law Enforcement Officers to fight real crimes and help real victims by not enforcing laws that make criminals (like simple possession), in which there is no victim.

In addition to these three platforms, Larry Sharpe and his team have researched and developed policies relating to agriculture, immigration, infrastructure, budget reform, energy, unions, pension, medicaid, and much more. All of these policies have one thing in common: Larry Sharpe wants to empower the people of New York State to be free and innovative, bringing growth to our communities and prosperity to our state
