Gov. Cuomo: Support Dems Fighting for Fair Elections

Dear Governor Cuomo: Please endorse and campaign for the candidates for State Senate who share your goal of fair elections that put voters first.



Earlier this year, Governor Cuomo announced his plan to limit the corrupting influence of big money on elections through a system of public financing. New Yorkers has an opportunity to take a stand against Citizens United, and make sure every voice is heard, not just billionaires and corporate special interests.

But to win real change to our broken political system, we need a legislature that supports the Fair Elections plan. The Assembly already does – now we just need to “flip” the Senate from Republican to Democratic control.

Join me in calling on Governor Cuomo to support the Democrats running for State Senate who are fighting for a “Fair Elections” system with public financing.

There are closely contested State Senate races around the state. Progressive Democrats who support the Fair Elections plan are running in every important race. They can win, especially with President Obama at the top of the ticket, but they need support.

Gov. Cuomo has sky-high approval ratings; in fact. But in crucial races that will determine the fate of the Fair Elections proposal, he has been silent. Even worse, he has hinted that he might even support Republicans.

But there’s still time to act. Gov. Cuomo needs to stand and support the Democrats who are backing the Fair Elections plan.

Tell Gov. Cuomo: take a stand and endorse the Democrats who support your agenda.
