ALEXANDRIA, VA (January 11, 2024) — CPAC Foundation’s latest analysis reveals that Democrat legislators in New York voted with the liberal position over 99% of the time. Such is a testament to the growing extremism of Democrats and their extraordinary cohesiveness.

“New York has adopted a fully woke approach to government. First by chasing President Donald Trump out of the state, and now by doing everything in can to manipulate and bankrupt the NRA.” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “It’s no surprise that people are moving away from such a toxic environment and into Republican-led states. This is happening at such a rate that New York is on track to lose at least three congressional seats.”

CPAC recognizes the following members of the New York State Legislature for earning CPAC’s Award for Conservative Excellence for voting with the conservative position at least 90% of the time during the 2023 session:

David DiPietro (100%)

Michael Fitzpatrick (100%)

Christopher Friend (100%)

John Lemondes (90%)

Brian Manktelow (90%)

Additionally, several lawmakers in the New York State Legislature earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Achievement for voting with the conservative position at least 80% of the time during the 2023 session. Their names are highlighted in gray on the scorecard.

The bills featured in CPAC’s 2023 Ratings of New York expanded the welfare state, increased costs to taxpayers, and decreased election security. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and upholding the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the New York legislature.

The Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA), an initiative of the CPAC Foundation, is the premier organization for holding lawmakers accountable. The CLA produces the longest-running conservative congressional scorecard and our state program is the only one in the nation that scores all 8,000 lawmakers in the 50 states across every policy area.
