The public has a right to a legislative process that does not kick the tough questions to unelected, unaccountable commissions. The only reasonable course of action is for the Legislature to reject ALL proposals coming out of this commission. joinsamny.org/press-release/…
We are pleased to prevail in our case against the Erie County Board of Elections and to have 13 of our15 nominated candidates returned to the ballot. We maintain that the Board had no basis for rejecting our nominees, which were not challenged joinsamny.org/press-release/… #JoinSAM

Every county will get the full grant promised by the state for early voting! This is great news given last week's troubling email from the State Board of Elections announcing cuts to early voting of 80%.

Early voting in kicks off this year. Check out this article from the @poststar on how its done. The process may be fraught with difficulty, but giving more opportunities for New Yorkers to vote is a big improvement for our #democracy. poststar.com/news/local/earl… #election2019 #reform
Why is it so important to disrupt the two-party system? Just listen to this podcast from @Freakonomics. An analysis of the status quo may be "insightful... but depressing," but the SAM party is inspired to restore the promise of our #democracy. Join us! freakonomics.com/podcast/pol…

“Partisan gerrymandering is a symptom of a larger”party first, voters second”disease that has infected our entire system & made lasting solutions of the nation’s significant policy challenges mostly impossible.” @samforus @SAMforNY ivn.us/posts/disappointing-b…
"In the past decade, a former state comptroller, Assembly speaker and Senate majority leader have all been sentenced to prison in “pay for play” scandals." The @nytimes is right, it is time to ban campaign contributions from contractors. nytimes.com/2019/07/30/opini… #ElectionReform
