Patrick Nelson for NY State Senate (SD-44)
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Patrick Nelson for New York State Senate in District 44.
Patrick represents exactly the kind of bold, independent leadership our movement needs more of in Albany.
A two-term Village Trustee in Stillwater, Patrick has repeatedly won elections in a community that votes more than 60% Republican. He has done it by focusing on the issues that matter most to working people and by proving that progressive values can win anywhere when candidates are willing to fight for them.
Just as importantly, Patrick has never accepted contributions from corporations, corporate PACs, or lobbyists. Patrick is campaigning for a simple principle: our government should answer to people, not powerful donors. That’s why he supports banning corporate contributions in New York elections.
Patrick is sounding the alarm about the unchecked power of Big Tech and artificial intelligence. While corporations race to build massive energy-hungry data centers across the country, Patrick is calling for a three-year statewide moratorium on new data center projects so communities can fully understand their impacts on energy costs, infrastructure, the environment, and local democracy before it’s too late.
He also supports a New York Constitutional Right to Talk to a Human Being, ensuring people aren’t trapped navigating automated systems when seeking critical services. He believes life-altering decisions—from healthcare to housing to public services—should be made by people, not algorithms.
Patrick is fighting to make New York more affordable. From universal healthcare at the state level to his Affordable Housing Communities proposal would provide incentives for local governments to build lower-cost rental housing and homeownership opportunities, he has real plans to improve life for working families.
In an era when too many politicians are content to manage problems, Patrick Nelson is offering real solutions. He is taking on corporate influence, defending democratic accountability, fighting for affordable housing, and ensuring technology serves the public interest—not the other way around.
That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Patrick Nelson for New York State Senate District 44.
When we organize, we win.
