Stand Up NY-17’s Mission

To foster informed citizen engagement in electing representatives who fight for democratic ideals, liberty and justice for all in New York’s 17th Congressional District.

Our democracy depends on participation—and that starts at the local level. In a time when our rights and freedoms are being challenged, we believe that silence is not an option. The future of NY-17—and the country—depends on what we do together, today.
