John,

New York's state budget is now 16 days overdue, not due to partisan opposition but because Governor Kathy Hochul failed to secure agreement within her Democratic Party.

Governor Hochul's insistence on including controversial policy changes in the budget has led to significant pushback from fellow Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. This internal discord has stalled budget negotiations, leaving essential services and local governments in a state of uncertainty.

Assembly Speaker Heastie's recent proposal to reduce the governor's power in budget negotiations underscores the severity of the leadership crisis. This move reflects deep frustration within her party over Hochul's approach to governance.

The New York Republican Party believes effective leadership requires building consensus and delivering results.

We are committed to restoring responsible governance and ensuring New Yorkers' needs come first.

John, will join us in advocating for competent leadership?

Your support empowers us to hold the current administration accountable and to fight for a government that works for all New Yorkers.

Chip in $10, $25, $50, or ANY AMOUNT to defeat Hochul.

Thank you,
New York State Republican Party
