From a verified voter in Schenectady, NYPass the NY Health Act
I am writing to express my strong support for the New York Health Act (S3425), which establishes a universal, single-payer healthcare system for our state. Guaranteeing healthcare as a fundamental human right is not just a moral obligation; it is a fiscally responsible policy that will save billions
From a constituent in Rochester, NYI am writing to request oversight of the National Design Studio (NDS), a White House office building federal digital infrastructure with no transparency or legal compliance. Key documented concerns: Federal health, passport, and voter registration websites built on White House-controlled infrastruc
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYNo more dark money in politics
I urge you to pass a law similar to the one Hawaii passed and Montana is considering to ban all corporate spending in any elections or ballot measure, either federal or state. We need to stop dark money from entering American politics and you may now have the power to do so. So act. The people are t
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYRepeal New York's Outdated Data Center Tax Loophole
I urge you to support legislation repealing New York's outdated sales tax exemption for data centers. This 26-year-old law, enacted in 2000 during the dial-up era, is costing our state and local communities hundreds of millions of dollars while serving no legitimate public purpose. When Governor Pa

From a constituent in New York, NYShame on Gov Hochul
This year, New York had a historic responsibility to stand up to Trump’s devastating cuts to essential services. The budget's final revenue package failed to answer this call. • No solutions for the 470,000 New Yorkers who will lose Essential Plan healthcare on July 1 • No action for 300,000 wh
From a verified voter in Shrub Oak, NYI’m troubled by Mamdani new desire to confiscate private property in particular the potential for COPA to pass. COPA attacks some of the basic core principals of our country: Protection of private property rights. Mamdani wants the govt to tell people who they can sell to. In affect give him a sta
From a verified voter in Rochester, NYBlock the Return of M-44 Cyanide Bombs on Public Lands in Our State
The Trump administration's April 2026 MOU between BLM and USDA is bringing M-44 cyanide bombs back to public lands, and I want you to oppose it through legislation in our state. California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington have all moved to restrict or ban them at the state level. These spring-loaded
From a verified voter in Ocean Beach, NYNo data centers on Long Island
We cannot allow data centers to be built on Long Island. The proposed brookhaven data center would be an environmental disaster. Our power grid is already overloaded, and costs would skyrocket even further. Long Island aquifers will be drained to cool machinery, depriving residents of clean drinking
From a constituent in Canastota, NYFix tier 6
My name is Maureen and I have worked for NY state agencies for 20 years and am a member of Tier 6. The current cost of living in NYS makes it incredibly difficult just to get by, let alone buy a home, pay utilities, transportation and car expenses, food shopping and the list goes on. The pension fun
From a verified voter in Rochester, NYAs I am sure you are aware, many residents of the state are having financial problems. These are usually due to no fault of their own and are difficult to address through traditional channels. The web is littered with advertising for "money making" games promising to pay users for downloading and su
From a constituent in Lake Placid, NYAs part of the CARE for Immigrant Families coalition, I'm urging the Governor to include $175 million for immigration legal services in the final FY27 budget. This funding has already been included in both one-house budgets, and we are asking the Governor to maintain the full amount and not reduce i
From a verified voter in Bath, NYWE NO LONGER TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT TO DO THE RIGHT THING. We’ve seen the same story play out time after time with this regime. Trump wants to punish or pressure “blue America” so we’ll fall in line. He holds hostage federal funding we’re owed for child care or health care or schools or emergency serv
From a verified voter in Averill Park, NYCorp money out of politics - NY needs our own SB 2471
I’m writing today to strongly urge you to pass legislation similar to Hawaii’s SB 2471, removing the privilege of corporations to spend unlimited money to influence elections. The past year has made it abundantly clear that America has become an oligarchy where the law no longer applies to anyone
From a verified voter in Jackson Heights, NYEpstein File Consequences
As a registered Democrat in Queens who votes in every election, I am asking when men named in the Epstein files will start getting arrested... or interrogated... or investigated? The message is clear: if rich men want to sexually abuse young girls in America there will be no consequences whatsoever.
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYIdentity databases will be breached
I oppose legislation that mandates online age verification. Large databases of government IDs and biometric data inevitably become targets for hackers. Numerous identity platforms have already suffered serious breaches exposing sensitive personal information. No system that aggregates this volume
From a constituent in New York, NYPause BPCA tree cuts — 40% of BPC waterfront, no retention alternative studied
Battery Park City Authority is removing 500 mature trees for the North/West Battery Park City Resiliency Project — more than 40% of every tree in the project area, and roughly 80% on the South Esplanade alone. This is a state authority's project on state-owned land. In a May 2026 written response t
From a verified voter in Shrub Oak, NYWhy is our community paying for Mamdani’s socialism? Why should the state cover his incompetence and refusal to address spending? He INCREASED SPENDING and Yorktown has to bail him out? Are you serious? There is no logic nor reason for our small town to pay for Mamdani’s free govt groceries, ove
From a verified voter in Nassau, NYI am writing to urge you to take immediate legislative action to overturn Citizens United and restore the integrity of our democracy by ensuring that political power belongs to people, not corporations. For too long, this ruling has allowed an unprecedented flood of dark money to drown out the voice
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose Blanket Social Media Bans for Minors
Please oppose any blanket ban on minors' social media access. The science driving these bills is not settled — it's contested. Independent researchers at UC Irvine and Brown University have found the evidence linking social media to teen mental health decline to be mixed and contradictory. Large-sca
From a verified voter in Hawthorne, NYAs a constituent, I urge Governor Hochul to amend the state constitution so we can get out from under its requirement that districts can't be drawn for partisan reasons. It takes two years to change the NY state constitution! You must sign into and approve the constitutional amendment sponsored by
From a verified voter in Shrub Oak, NYOver the past two years, New York State has handed out $8 billion in state funds to subsidize what can only be described as political vanity projects municipal bodegas and childcare programs serving a fraction of the workforce. This is not governance. It is a bailout of an incompetent administration
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYPass the One Fair Price Act to Ban Surveillance Pricing
Pass the One Fair Price Act. New Yorkers are already stretched thin by rising costs on groceries, housing, and healthcare — and corporations are making it worse by using our personal data to squeeze out every last dollar they can. Surveillance pricing isn't supply and demand. It's an algorithm ident
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYKeep parental control with families, not databases
I am writing to oppose proposals requiring online age verification. Parents already have tools to supervise their children's online access through device settings, content filters, and platform controls. Government mandates that require identity checks for everyone shift responsibility away from fa
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYBan 287(g) Agreements in New York
Governor Hochul proposed banning 287(g) agreements in January — finish the job and get it signed into law. New Mexico, Maine, and Maryland have already acted. New York needs to follow through before ICE embeds itself further into local police budgets across this state. What's happening here isn't v
From a verified voter in Bath, NYRepublicans are canceling elections and defying state constitutions to redraw congressional maps in time for November. And this is just the latest in a long line of aggressive, norm-destroying efforts to gerrymander their way to one-party rule. Democrats must acknowledge this new political reality a
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYPass Comprehensive Data Privacy Legislation Like Connecticut's SB4
New York needs to pass comprehensive data privacy legislation modeled on Connecticut's Senate Bill 4, which passed 141-6 in their House and 31-4 in their Senate this May. Connecticut is now poised to become the national leader in data broker regulation, and New York should follow immediately. Conne
