Our ability to strengthen our public health infrastructure, our social safety net, and take action to support frontline workers depends on electing candidates who support nurses, healthcare professionals, and our communities. As a statewide union of nurses and healthcare professionals, NYSNA has made endorsements throughout the state. These candidates share nurses' values of community and compassion and are committed to uplifting working people everywhere.

August 23 is the second New York primary of 2022. We encourage members to stay informed and engaged and return to this page for the latest deadlines and NYSNA voter information.
