Never before has a State Senate race had State-Wide Consequences:

Wherever you live in New York State, the outcome of my race will affect you, me, our friends, and our families for generations to come.

Today, we are only two seats from gaining a Democratic majority in the New York State Senate. This will end the dysfunction caused by four decades of Republican domination.

My reform campaign was one of the 2 races statewide that came closest to flipping Republican to Democrat in the last election cycle. It is one the most vulnerable seats the Republicans hold – Therefore it is a must-win seat.

In 2006, we gave Republican Caesar Trunzo his closest race in 30 years - pushing him back to 53% of the vote.

Today, so many pieces of progressive legislation are being held hostage by Joe Bruno and the mean-spirited Republican majority. Expanding healthcare, fairly funding our schools, tax relief for our working middle class – all of these priorities and so many more are on the line.

Most importantly, I know we cannot fully address these issues until we reform the broken government in Albany. Every piece of progressive legislation hangs in the balance. Together we can change the way business is done in Albany.
