The candidates endorsed by NYSNA in the 2016 State Assembly and Senate elections have taken stands on a wide range of issues and key priorities that affect NYSNA nurses and New Yorkers’ access to high quality health care services.

Our endorsements are based upon a review and analysis of the candidates’ positions on safe staffing legislation, funding for safety net hospitals, single-payer healthcare, increased access to quality care and maintaining standards of nursing practice.

NYSNA looks forward to working with these candidates in the next legislative session and urges members to make their voices heard in this critical election.

UPDATE: Tables below have been updated to reflect winners of the September 13, 2016 NYS Primary Elections.
