At ASI, advocacy for the arts and cultural sector is an important part of what we do in service of the area’s independent artists, 500+ not for profit cultural organizations, their thousands of employees, and the hundreds of thousands who invest in the cultural sector through their attendance, service, and donations.
Each election cycle, ASI poses a series of questions to candidates running for elected office across the region, focusing on the legislative and executive branches.
This year ASI, sent surveys to candidates in the following races:
- New York State Governor
- New York State Senate (Districts 57, 60-63)
- New York State Assembly (Districts 139-150)
- United States House of Representatives (Districts 23 & 26)
- United States Senate (1 seat)
Before you head to the polls or, take a minute to read the candidate responses and cast your vote knowing that the future of arts support is in good hands. Your vote matters! Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, November 8th.
