Hello Senator Felder,
I both called and emailed to ask your support/ask where you stand on the below issues on the following dates:
June 2- New York Health Act
June 5-Voting Reform
June 6-Liberty Act
June 7-Reproductive Health Act
I have yet to hear from you.
It is only fair to know where our elected officials stand on issues, and true leadership, takes a person who does research on issues, listens and speaks to constituents. A leader strives for effective government working with peers to do what is best for the people, not just the individual politician or his or her district.
I find it frightening that your stance on many issues is not clear to constituents, your staff does not seem to know where you stand or give us genetic answers that you will review a given issue, but rarely reply. The replies are often vague.
A large part of leadership is about clear communication.
Please support the below and please let the constituents know where you stand. We have a right to this information regardless of whether or not the below end up on the Senate floor.
I would also hope you show leadership in getting the below to the Senate floor if it is in your power to do so.
Society is better is we are all empowered. You are in the unique position to help empower all New Yonkers.
Best Regards,
Naomi
