Better Ballot Access in NY

Harry Kresky has been diligently working for a bill to replace mandatory petitions for candidate ballot access with filing fees.

Kresky is chair of the election law committee of the New York County Lawyers Association. That association, as well as the New York City Bar Association, has already approved the idea.

Now the work will begin to persuade the State Bar Association, and then to find a sponsor in the legislature.

Harry is also the council for the NYC Independence Party Organizations and also represented me in court as part of cases against our party chair trying to remove certain members of the NYC delegation from the State Committee. I was at the meeting of the election law committee about the Citizen United case and the filing fee replacement issue was addressed.









NYC Wins When Everyone Can Vote!
