Fighting for hardworking New Yorkers
About Us.
New Yorkers are strong, resilient, and hardworking people. We know how difficult it is to make ends meet, and we expect our representatives to fight for us in Congress. Unfortunately, several members of Congress in New York State, such as Representative Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04), have voted in ways that hurt us.
While we struggle to pay the high costs of health care, prescription drugs, housing, and utilities, Rep. D’Esposito has voted to help big corporations and the ultra-wealthy instead of us. Empire State Voices is here to advocate for policies that help our working families.
