Responsible New York

Guiding True Political Reform in the State of New York

About Responsible NY

Responsible New York is organized around a core set of values, beliefs and principles that are essential to guiding true political reform in the State of New York. Our quest is to create a political movement to return Albany to its rightful owners. Our pledge is help create an organization with no personal agendas, other than to give a voice to all New Yorkers – Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives and Independents from cities, suburbs and rural areas both upstate and downstate.

Today, more than ever, New York State is at a precipice. This isn’t news to New York families who are struggling to make ends meet, nor is it even news to the legislators in Albany or the special interest that own them.

Responsible New York will endorse candidates in the New York State Senate and Assembly. Candidates will be chosen in a non-partisan manner and only for their commitment and their ability to support Responsible New York, removing Albany from the grips of special interest and returning our government to the people who support it. And to truly change Albany we will also endorse and support candidates for Congress who will work to put people first.

Responsible New York is an advocate for:

  • Responsible State Budgeting
  • Real Estate Tax Reform
  • Election and Campaign Finance Reform (including redistricting )
  • True Government Transparency
  • An End to Unfunded Mandates
  • Equitable Distribution of Economic Development Resources
  • Government Employee Compensation & Pensions Consistent with Private Sector
  • An End to Back-Door Borrowing/Reining in Out of Control Authorities
