Issue Position: Real Democracy

Issue Position

We've long heard New York state politicians promise to clean up Albany, only to see the same corrupt system persist. Today New York has some of the most restrictive voting laws that disenfranchise New Yorkers, and some of the weakest campaign finance laws in the country. New Yorkers don't think their voices will be heard in Albany. That needs to change. If elected, I will fight for:
Real campaign finance reform, including an end to the LLC loophole, limits to outside income, and full public financing of state elections
Greater transparency for donors to politicians and PACs, so New Yorkers know who's behind their politicians
Dramatically expanded voting rights including same-day registration, automatic voter registration, early voting, open primaries, greater language support, and an end to felony disenfranchisement.
