Rep. Emily Gallagher said, "For too long, New York politics has been dominated by the idea that party insiders get to decide who runs and who doesn’t. Those days are over. Governor Hochul has had years to act boldly on housing, climate and affordability and she hasn’t. When we give voters choices on the ballot, that’s not division, it’s democracy. Silencing debate is how parties lose trust, and we’ve already seen where that leads."
