Eric Ball (D)

Reproductive health decisions must remain between a woman and her doctor, not set by legislators in Albany or Washington. It is essential that New York State continue to offer safe access to abortions, birth control, and family planning services

Healthcare is a human right, period. I know what it is like to be one of the almost 1,000,000 uninsured New Yorkers. That is why I support the New York Health Act which would cover every New York resident regardless of age, income, or employment.

Infrastructure projects are government investments in people and business. Rural broadband makes working from home possible. Modern waste treatment systems keep our drinking water clean. Affordable housing projects keep the workforce viable.

Eric Ball (D)

We need representation from someone who was raised in a rural area who knows the issues our communities face. I am passionate about restoring the local economies in Upstate New York; rebuilding our infrastructure, supporting existing industry and establishing new industries, and supporting our farms and protecting our rural farmland and environment. I have seen the decline of these things in my region, and saw how devastating it was when my dad lost his job when the local industry shut down. I know in my heart that together, we can bring prosperity and hope back to the communities we cherish.
