Dear Lucas,
I love New York. I grew up here, I'm raising my three daughters here, and I want New York to work for them like it worked for me. I want to leave them a state that is better, fairer, and stronger than ever before.
Sadly, our state government has failed our people. It has been paralyzed all too often by partisan politics and corruption.
We must change all that. It's time to overhaul our government -- clean it up, pare it down and make it work.
That's why I'm running for Governor. But this campaign can't succeed without your help, so my first step is asking you to join me today.
Please watch my brief announcement video and share it with your friends and family.
This campaign that you and I are launching is about building a New NY.
It's about finding solutions for the problems that face all New Yorkers and working together to achieve real results.
Here's what we need to do to get started:
- Clean up the corruption in Albany and restore honor and integrity to our state government.
- Get our fiscal house in order by controlling government spending and putting a cap on local property taxes.
- Overhaul the size of state and local government to reduce costs and make them more efficient and effective.
- Take bold new measures to create more jobs and jump-start New York's innovation economy.
- Protect our basic rights and freedoms, including a woman's right to choose, marriage equality, and freedom from discrimination.
Please take a minute to watch the announcement video and invite your friends and family to support our campaign for a New NY:

I'm running for Governor so I can stand up for all New Yorkers. I hope you'll stand with me today.
Thank you,
Andrew Cuomo
P.S. -- In the weeks and months ahead, I'll be outlining an Agenda for a New NY. This is my plan to turn our state around and build a better future for all New Yorkers. Take a minute to learn more and join our campaign today.
