Luke's YouTube video on Clean Money / Clean Elections got a nice mention by the New York Observer's Azi Paybarah HERE...

I'm Luke Henry, and I'm running for State Assembly. I am running against a powerful incumbent, the Assembly Speaker, Sheldon Silver. Can I win? That depends on you. The election is in September. Will you help me? The issues at stake in the 64th Assembly District are part of a problem in Albany, our state capitol, that has been in large part created and maintained by the incumbent Democratic Assemblyman, Sheldon Silver. Silver has been at the forefront of a lack of transparency, an absence of accountability, and a failure of leadership. He controls a legislative process that is, by all accounts, ineffective and inefficient. |
What's New
"And it is far past time for a serious reformer to challenge Mr. Silver in his Chinatown base. New York, of course, needs more than a few new faces. The state goes begging for challengers who are genuinely committed to changing Albany’s corrupt ways. Candidates need to promise a real reform of the scandalous campaign finance system, including public financing. And they should pledge their support for a nonpartisan commission to draw legislative districts.
New Yorkers deserve to be mad as hell about Albany, and their best revenge is at the ballot box. All they need now is to find decent candidates.
Luke Henry, 33, Says Silver Is 'Obstacle Toward Real Reform'
" . . . Taking his campaign to the city's streets a day after Mr. Silver refused to send congestion pricing to the floor of the Assembly for a vote, effectively killing it, it's clear Mr. Henry will be able to tap a new wave of raw outrage and frustration from voters who blame the speaker for the demise of Mayor Bloomberg's traffic plan.
