Issue Position: Cleaning Up Albany

Issue Position

Yuh-Line believes that the only people legislators should be accountable to are their constituents and the people of New York. Our community has been hurt by corruption like no other, and we need an Assemblymember who has the commitment and ability to clean up Albany. Yuh-Line has been fighting for public financing of campaigns because it is a real, viable system that can fight back against corruption and send a message to our constituents that their voices matter. She is proud to see the legislature move towards a robust public campaign finance system to help level the playing field and provide people of color and women the opportunity to fairly fund campaigns and win. She will continue to work to strip pensions from corrupt politicians, reform our special election process, and further our newly-won public financing system to reduce the influence of special interests and open the door for more candidates to run for office. Yuh-Line is also committed to closing the egregious "LLC Loophole," which lets developers and other businesses give massive campaign contributions that are many times higher than the legal limit. These measures work to restore trust in our democracy and help elect the best representative to office, not whoever happens to be the most well-connected to special interests. As a small-dollar driven and people-driven candidate, Yuh-Line is proud to fight for a more transparent and representative government for our working families.
