ELECTORAL REFORM

1.   Our system of government is broken because of the influence of money.  The influence of money needs to be eliminated as much as possible from our system.

2.   I vigorously support and will work towards public financing of all campaigns.

3.   Despite any supreme court decision to the contrary, corporations are not people.  Corporations should not be entitled to donate money directly to candidates or through political parties or political action committees. 

4.   I will propose legislation which makes Election Day a state holiday.   We need to cherish and celebrate and exercise our right to vote.  Healthy democracy is dependent upon and should facilitate an engaged and informed electorate.

5.   I support the implementation of a truly independent re-districting commission for the purpose of determining election district boundaries.  I support repealing the NYS Senate's legislation which puts in place a weak commission in 2022.

6.   I support a transition to Instant Run-off Voting for all elections, which could also be called True Preference voting.   http://www.instantrunoff.com/how-irv-works
