Update: New York Focus recently reported that "Common Sense New Yorkers" and "Voters of New York" have not submitted disclosures required by NY campaign finance law.

"Common Sense New Yorkers" is a Super PAC that has funneled millions of Republican dollars in hopes of stop progressive Democrats from winning local elections.

The PAC's largest funder in 2021 was Stephen Ross, a billionaire Trump donor/fundraiser and major real estate developer who spent $1 million to influence our New York City Council races in 2021.

The PAC is currently sending mailers to thousands of New York voters attacking local candidates that prioritize protecting renters & homeowners over massive luxury projects. The mega-donors that are funding these attack mailers are only concerned about protecting their profits.

With NYC City Council & Mayor Eric Adams are defunding NYC schools by 200+ million dollar , working people can't let billionaires gut our state as well. It's time to stop them at the ballot box.
