We’re launching New Democrats of New York (NDNY)

Washington gets the attention. But the levers that shape your daily life — affordability, public safety, housing, infrastructure, and whether government services work — are closer to home.

Today, I’m launching New Democrats of New York (NDNY): a New York State PAC built to elect and support Democratic executive leaders across New York, with an initial focus on the local executive races outside New York City that too often get ignored.

Here’s the simple premise: while Washington dysfunction consumes attention, outrage, and donor dollars, the outcomes families feel every day are often decided locally. If we want Democrats to win trust — and keep it — we have to deliver measurable results people can actually feel.

That’s why NDNY is focused on local executive offices: county executives, mayors, town supervisors, sheriffs, and district attorneys. These are the officials accountable for taxes, public safety response, housing, and core services. They can move the needle fast — and they’re where a new generation of Democratic leaders can prove what competent, disciplined government looks like.

I’m sharing the launch video below. If you believe local government should matter more — and that Democratic leadership should be judged by what it delivers — here’s how you can help:

• Donate to help NDNY compete meaningfully in 8–12 executive races in 2026

• Nominate a candidate/race we should consider supporting

• Share this with someone who cares about outcomes over outrage

Let’s stop outsourcing our hope to Washington. Let’s make politics local again.
