Fair Elections Now in NY

New York state officials can do something about Fair Elections by supporting the Fair Elections plan to limit the influence of money in politics. The Fair Elections plan would help make elected officials more responsive to voters than to big donors by lowering contribution limits and implementing a system of public financing. Modeled after the successful system already in place for New York City, it would free politicians up to spend their time on the issues affecting their constituents, instead of dialing for dollars.

Fair Elections is a much-needed progressive reform that can help get big money out of politics and we should hope takes root in every state. Gov. Cuomo and other leaders in Albany have made statements supporting such a measure, but there is not much time left to act in this legislative session.

Gov. Cuomo said in his State of the State message that he supports reform legislation. Call Gov. Cuomo and let him know that you want him to follow through and make this a priority. Let Gov. Cuomo and your state senator hear from you today.
