  • Ex-Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner to Run for Governor
    Ex-Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner to run for governor https://www.newsday.com/long-island/politics/spin-cycle/miner-cuomo-... Ex-Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner to run for governor By Michael Gormley ALBANY — Former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, who was a frequent critic of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, said she will take on Cuomo as an independent “citizen of New York.” Miner, a Democrat who began her career with former Gov. Mario Cuomo and worked closely with Hillary Clinton in her 2016 presidential campaign, said she won’t run as a Democrat or Republican in November. “I think you have to change the system from the outside,” Miner told Newsday. “I tried to be an agent of change from the inside . but I can’t be involved in a system that chooses corruption and partisanship rather than integrity and problem solving.” She announced her bid in The New York Times, saying her campaign will be a “rebuke of Andrew Cuomo’s policies and a rebuke of where we are as a state.” She will run on the line of the Serve America Movement, a new independent political group. The group was created from dissatisfaction with the 2016 presidential elections. SAM said it seeks to back candidates in 2018 to secure enough votes to land automatic ballot lines in the 2020 national elections. Its’ directors include former staffers of Republican President George W. Bush as well as from Wall Street firms and major universities. Miner was term limited from running for a third term as mayor of Syracuse. Her supporters have included Senate Deputy Majority Leader John DeFrancisco, a conservative Republican from Syracuse who had considered a run for governor this year.

Of the three branches of government, the legislative branch is intended to be the most representative of the people. However, it consistently faces the lowest approval ratings among the American public. Although the public largely disapproves of Congress as a legislative body, most Americans support their own representative.1 This phenomenon is reflected in high reelection rates for congressional incumbents.

New York has changed its electoral laws to bar small political parties from the ballot unless they choose to nominate a candidate for President of the United States.

Plaintiff SAM Party of New York is a recognized political “party” under New York law that focuses on nominating candidates for village, town, county, and statewide office.
