In addition to the New York State candidates below, I urge you to
please also vote for U.S. Senators Kristen Gillibrand and Chuck
Schumer on Tuesday.
From The Empire State Pride Agenda:
The Empire State Pride Agenda is the statewide, bi-partisan civil
rights and political advocacy organization dedicated to winning
equality and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
New Yorkers and our families. We are committed to seizing all
opportunities in the political and legislative processes to advance
our public policy goals and pursue our public policy agenda. Electing
and appointing LGBT supporters at all levels of government, educating
political candidates and endorsing and providing campaign assistance
to those who support our public policy agenda are important tools we
use to achieve our goals. We believe that by supporting candidates for
elected office, we can increase the number of allies in government,
solidify the commitment of current allies and hold opponents
accountable.
Endorsement Criteria
When deciding whether to endorse in a particular race, the Pride
Agenda considers a number of factors including whether the endorsement
furthers our public policy agenda, allows for coalition building with
strategic allies, results in significant community or capacity
building within the LGBT community, contributes to the election of
LGBT candidates, and allows for specific public education on an issue
of importance or has the potential to influence the outcome of an
election.
We make our specific endorsement decisions based on responses to the
Pride Agenda candidate questionnaire, an examination of a candidate's
voting record (for those who have previously held elective office) and
the voting record of their opponent, a review of his or her public
acts and statements and consultations with other organizations
throughout New York State, including local LGBT organizations.
Non-incumbents are evaluated based upon the criteria above as well as
the viability of their campaign.
