About We The People Party NY

We are a minimalist, decentralized third party bringing real power back to citizens of New York. Unlike traditional parties, we operate with a federalized system — checks and balances at the state and local level — so decisions are made as close to the people as possible.

Truly for the people, by the people. We focus on city, county, and state action to identify merit-based leaders and create better incentives for real change in New York.

Our Core Principles

• Decentralized governance — power stays local
• Merit-based leadership & community action
• Transparency in funding and decision-making
• Ballot access for independents and reformers
• Fixing New York’s broken incentives for better outcomes

We unite people across the ideological spectrum for common-sense solutions that put New Yorkers first.
