Warm up with a new episode of @CapPressRoom w/@poozer87 at 11am. We're talking public campaign finance with NY's 3rd parities. @CPNYS' @gerardkas @SAMforNY's Mike Volpe @NYWFP's @BillLipton and @gpny's @VoteLavenia Tune in: wcny.org/thecapitolpres…

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!

Early voting in kicks off this year. Check out this article from the @poststar on how its done.
