Filtering by: Public Financing
This week the Governor, Senate Majority Leader ASC, and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie are entering budget negotiations.
If a strong public financing package isn't included in the budget, it will be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to pass afterwards - this is our best shot!!!
We are hearing that our democratic leaders are reaching a deal to include a non-binding commission to "study" the issue - THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.
Call with us to reach our elected leaders and demand they pass PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS!

For the first time in history, Governor Cuomo, the Assembly, and the Senate all included small donor public financing in their budget proposals after thousands of New Yorkers made their voices heard. We have just a few days to make sure this historic reform stays in the final budget, due at the end of the month--and that it isn’t taken out or watered down in last-minute negotiations. This is our opportunity to take real action to limit the influence of billionaire donors and empower average people like you and me in the political process.
