In that 1989 election, a three-term incumbent mayor failed to win re-election, as New York City voters elected the first African American mayor in the city’s history. New Yorkers immediately saw the possibilities of politics under this new system — large contributions and special interest money were no longer the most Father Joseph P. Parkes, S.J. important factors in city elections, and the Chairman of the value of grassroots support from average New NYC Campaign Finance Board Yorkers was magnified. Five citywide elections have been held in the years since. The 2009 election season was no less remarkable, for many reasons. With two-term incumbents able to run for re-election, many believed the 2009 elections would provide little drama, that incumbents would coast straight through Election Day towards their third terms. Quite the con- trary, spirited challenges ensured that incumbents of every stripe were forced to engage their constituents and make their case to the voters. On Election Day, New Yorkers made their voices heard. The incumbent may- or, who opted to run outside the Program and spend more than $100 mil- lion on his campaign, was re-elected by only a slim margin, surprising the pundits and pollsters. Five upstart challengers, each of whom participated in the Program, defeated incumbent opponents in City Council elections — an unprecedented level of success for insurgents on the Council. The slate of officials elected in 2009 was the most diverse in city history. The results made it clear that access to large contributions or personal wealth provides no guarantee of success. Instead, candidates who made an effort to concentrate their fundraising efforts towards average New York- ers were rewarded. Legislation enacted before the election helped increase the value of small contributions in two significant ways. First, so-called “pay-to-play” contributions from people doing business with city govern- ment were made subject to new, low limits, eliminating a ready source of large, influence-seeking contributions. Second, the rate at which New Yorkers’ small contributions are matched with public funds was increased, from $4-to-$1 to $6-to-$1, providing an even greater incentive for candidates to focus on low-dollar fundraising. These important reforms helped set the stage for the modest upheaval the city experienced with last fall’s elections. For these reasons and more, New York City’s program remains a national model for a well-functioning cam- paign finance system. Still, there are challenges for the Program and the CFB looming on the horizon. A hostile judicial environment for common-sense campaign finance regulation could transform those challenges into more serious threats. Third parties and outside groups have stepped up their independent spending in city elec- tions. This spending is unlimited, and largely undisclosed. The U.S. Supreme Court decision inCitizens United has the potential to encourage corporations, unions, and other actors to increase their independent efforts on behalf of candidates. More disclosure is needed. Other recent decisions regarding public financing systems have raised concerns about whether the Program will be able to continue to maintain its high levels of participation, especially when candidates must face high- spending, non-participating opponents. Our 2009 elections provided an unmistakable reminder of how a little extra help can go a long way. New York City’s program has thrived not because it replaces all private money with public funds but because it encourages candidates to raise private funds the right way: in small amounts, from the citizens whose approval they seek. The Program’s generous provision of public funds combined with reasonable limits on private contributions and spending has ensured that participation in our system remains high. The more candidates who take part,

Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

  • Feb 11, 2018 Inauguration of NYS Senator Brian Patrick Kavanagh Hon Gale a Brewer, Manhattan Borough President Good Afternoon
    Feb 11, 2018 Inauguration of NYS Senator Brian Patrick Kavanagh Hon Gale A Brewer, Manhattan Borough President Good afternoon. I’m Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, and it’s my honor and pleasure to say a few things about my colleague, confidante, and very close friend, Senator Brian Kavanagh. We go back 18 years now. It was 2001, and I’d gotten started late on my first City Council campaign. There were already six candidates in the race. We had no money. A lot of people had already taken sides, and it seemed like a long shot. Jessica Mates– another close friend and my chief of staff today – and Brian Kavanagh were there with me every day, building the campaign, stuffing 20 story buildings in the summer heat, handing out lit, keeping calm, and out–working out– thinking, and out-strategizing everybody. That, you may remember, was a Mayoral year when another candidate was running, too, a long shot we’d never heard of, a guy named Mike Bloomberg. Well, we both won, and Brian became my first chief of staff. I’d promised to “hit the ground running,” and we did thanks to Brian’s smarts and hard work, gift for organizing a staff, setting clear priorities, and managing everything in that calm, confident, steady way that is his trademark. 1 He even headed up the Fresh Democracy Project, which was a grouping of the large class of incoming Council Members in January 2002. We produced policy ideas for the new Council, but the “we” was really Brian. And he surprised us, too, with special gifts.

Astella will collaborate with the NYC Department of Sanitation, the Coney Island Board of Trade, and Mermaid Ave. merchants to provide these services. Members of the Coney Island Board of Trade, in which Astella helped to revitalize and provides technical assistance, have noted that while most merchants keep the sidewalk area in front of their stores free of liter according to city law, additional liter and sidewalk dirt and stains accumulate throughout the remainder of the day. In addition, according to a survey of Mermaid Ave. merchants conducted by an Astella intern in 2010, cleanliness of Mermaid Ave. was cited as the number one concern among merchants on Mermaid Ave. A cleaner commercial corridor will inspire confidence and pride in the neighborhood, provide a welcoming environment for shoppers, a boost for Mermaid Ave.

This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

We reCognize that the details of this plan are still being determined. We write today to make several recommendations for you to consider as you work to address both the achievement gap in academic, social and physical skill areas and the regression of life among the approximately 200,000 students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Unlike other students, this population of Children may never catch up on what was lost during the days of remote learning.
