On Tuesday, November 4: Let’s Win For Our Patients

Nurses across the state are mobilizing for candidates who believe in securing Safe RN Staffing legislation, fair union contracts, and quality healthcare for all New Yorkers. Scroll down to see a complete list of NYSNA-endorsed candidates, and click here to download and print our 2014 Nurse Voter Guide.

If you believe it's critical to win enforceable Safe Staffing ratios to protect nurses and patients, you must get out and vote for NYSNA-endorsed candidates who share this goal.

Here’s what you can do to help us win on November 4:

  1. Go to the polls and vote on Tuesday, November 4. Bring your family and friends. In New York State, polls are open from 6 AM to 9 PM. Click here to find your polling place. If you have any questions about voting, call 866-OUR-VOTE.
  2. Volunteer for an hour or two to help elect those who stand with us. From Western NY to Long Island, there are opportunities to add your support to the frontlines every day leading up to the election. To get involved, contact Joanna Solmonsohn – and plan to wear your NYSNA red!
  3. When you vote for NYSNA-endorsed candidates, make sure you vote for them on the Working Families Party line! The WFP is the only party that has support for our Safe Staffing Bill as part of their platform, and that's good for patients. When you vote for candidates on the WFP line, all the votes count. So vote on the Working Families Party line.
  4. Spread the word to nurses across the state by tagging NYSNA on Facebook and Twitter; when you post photos and updates online use the hashtag #NYSNAVotes – and follow NYSNA on Facebook and Twitter to keep track as we approach the finish line!

It’s time to elect candidates who will stand with us on issues we care deeply about. Let’s work together to make it happen.
