“Shady organizations, foreign governments and wealthy special interests have no place in our elections. By spreading misinformation, they take the power away from the people.

“This legislation is a critical step toward safeguarding New Yorkers’ right to select their public officials, without interference from special interests or foreign agents. It builds on past legislation I’ve supported and helped pass to close the LLC loophole and make voting more accessible. New Yorkers deserve honest and open elections, and we’re one step closer with this measure.”
