The NYWFP is committed to electing leaders who will focus on improving the lives of workers and their families instead of leveraging the power of government for the benefit of the rich and well-connected. Candidates who apply for the Working Families Party endorsement complete a robust questionnaire and interview process. 

At a time when local elected officials are on the frontline of protecting our communities and democracy, NYWFP is investing deeply in elections across the state to ensure New Yorkers have trusted leaders who fight for working families.

The College Democrats of America are committed to supporting progressive candidates who harbor a similar vision to youthful democrats across the country. We firmly believe that the election of proponents of sustainable climate policy, LGBTQ+ equality, abortion rights, voting accessibility, a livable wage, and readily available healthcare to all levels of government is a step in the right direction. So, whether you’re gunning for local or federal office, please reach out if you share our priorities. 

College Democrats at Syracuse University, CDNY, and CDA back experienced leaders who are committed to standing up for New Yorkers against the chaos and dysfunction coming from Washington. Sharon Owens is the leader Syracuse deserves—committed to affordable housing, economic opportunity, and policies that support college students. She has been a strong advocate for college students, pushing for tenant protections, affordable education, and job opportunities that help young people build a future in Syracuse. We look forward to helping her become the city’s next mayor.

“The Democrats at Syracuse University are proud to endorse Sharon Owens, an alumni and an incredibly dedicated public servant for our city, for Mayor of Syracuse city. As deputy mayor, she has proven to be a capable fighter for the needs of Syracuse Residents and students. We are honored to have the ability to endorse her historic candidacy and look forward to working to elect her as the next mayor of Syracuse.”
