Hi John --

TOMORROW'S THE DAY! REGISTER NOW FOR OUR MAY PRIMARY BUZZ DISCUSSION: New York, New York: If We Can We Make It Here…. A Conversation with John Avlon <[link removed]>



Six months ago, it seemed like New York City would hold on to its outdated Boss-Tweed-style-closed-primary-election-system forever. But then everything changed. New Yorkers spoke out and the recently appointed Charter Revision Commission listened. Primary reform is now squarely on the agenda in NYC - click here to read the commission’s preliminary report.  <[link removed]>

Independents and reformers tried to bring open primaries to NYC in 2002, 2003, and 2010, but we were chewed up and spit out by an entrenched establishment. But as the number of independent voters soared (well past one million now, twice as many as Republicans) and voter turnout declined, new possibilities began to emerge.    

Tomorrow May 28th at 11AM ET John Opdycke will sit down with John Avlon, an award-winning journalist, author, news anchor and media executive. He is a former CNN senior political analyst and anchor, editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast, and the 2024 Democratic congressional nominee in New York’s First District. He currently hosts a solutions journalism podcast on The xxxxxx called “How to Fix It” and serves as the Chairman of Citizens Union, New York’s oldest good government group. John is a long time open primaries leader.

They will explore what’s changed, where we are in the process, and what a shift to open primaries could mean for NYC and the country.  

Register now!
