On April 4, 2018, the news site King County Politics published an article written by Michael Rock entitled Blake Morris Challenges Simcha Felder.
There are some factual errors in this article that we wanted to correct:
- Our organization name is New York Senate District 17 for Progress, abbreviated NYSD 17 for Progress, not “NYSD17”.
- Our organization is not “dedicated to electing a true progressive to Felder’s seat.” Our mission, which can be found on our website: http://nysd17forprogress.org is to advocate for transparent communication by elected officials, who must be held accountable to all of their constituents, regardless of voter eligibility and to promote progressive policies and legislation that will improve the lives of all NYSD17 residents. We achieve those goals through education and issue advocacy. Work we have done includes:
- Holding public forums on healthcare
- Registering voters at community events
- Documenting the actions and communications of our state senator
- Advocating for legislation like voting reform and the New York Health Act To date, we have performed no work for or against a specific political candidate and have sought to include Senator Felder in all our actions.
- The “exploratory committee” that is mentioned in this article is not a part of nor affiliated with our group.
We would appreciate if Kings County Politics made these corrections.
