COMMITMENT
A long-time community activist, Blake has been deeply committed to building a better New York for over 30 years.
TRUST
In the Trump era, it has never been more important to have a progressive state legislature to protect our values. New Yorkers can count on Blake Morris to give us that from day one and the Democratic state Senate we deserve.
CERTITUDE
Blake Morris is a real Democrat, not a Republican with a “D”next to his name, like Sen. Felder, the incumbent who was first elected in 2012.
In the state Senate, Blake Morris will fight to pass legislation Senator Felder and the Republicans continue to block:
✓ Stronger Rent Laws for Tenants
✓ Supporting the DREAM ACT
✓ Real Campaign Finance Reform
✓ Single-Payer Health Care
✓ Common Sense Gun Control

Simcha Felder Challenger Says Primary Race Will Test Orthodox Power In Brooklyn
The community activist mounting a challenge to state Senator Simcha Felder, a controversial legislator who is the one man standing between the Democrats and total control of Albany, said in an interview that the upcoming primary contest will test the power of Orthodox voters in Brooklyn.
Editorial: No hiding mailing guidelines
How secretive is New York state’s government? Senate leaders fought a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request that asked for copies of the written guidelines the Senate uses to allocate money to legislators for the mailing of written materials to constituents.
A loyal Democrat challenges Felder
Independent Democratic Conference leader Jeff Klein announced a deal this week that the IDC would rejoin the mainline Democrats in the state Senate. If Democrats win two state Senate special elections, set for April 24, Democrats would hold a technical majority of 32 seats.
