OPEN LETTER TO THE NYS GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO


April 27, 2013                                  
The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo
Governor of New York State
NYS State Capitol Building
Albany, NY 1224 

Re: Thank you Governor Cuomo


The people of Assembly District 86th stand grateful for, and empowered by, your support in their quest to chose their next State Assembly representative in a transparent  and democratic process. This district, and the Bronx, are one of the poorest areas in New York State, and the nation, and the "business as usual" way of handpicking leaders in our district has not served its constituents in their efforts to tackle the crucial problems affecting this neighborhood, from staggering unemployment rates to poor health outcomes. Your forthright leadership and public stance on our need for transparent and fair elections, as on most of the important issues affecting  our State,  has given us the sense that we are not alone in wanting to bring justice and fairly elected representation to our community. 
 
On Sunday April 21, 2013 we held a rally asking you to help the people of this district get a competitive and open election process to elect their new assembly representative. Like on many other occasions, many people were skeptical that anyone would hear our call. For a neighborhood that has lost trust in the transparency of the electoral process, and the many elected officials that have betrayed us, your call for an open election without party leader interference has given us back our hope.
Starting with that rally, we were in the process of collecting signatures to continue that movement, but today we write to thank you for allowing us to select our best representative in a fair election.
Although New York State politicians have been in the press more for their wrong doing than what they do right lately, your actions prove that it is possible, necessary, and right to allow people to hold politicians, and the system that often supports them, accountable through fair elections.

Thank you once again and we hope to see you visiting our neighborhood soon.
 
Sincerely,

PEOPLE FOR THE DIGNITY OF THE  BRONX ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 86 (D86)
HECTOR RAMIREZ
 COORDINATOR
