All of these issues are embraced by the Independence Party, and with their support, together we can work toward continuing to rebuild our great state. Steve has had the courage to be vocal and make principled, thoughtful decisions that will continue to put New York State on a path to prosperity, said New York State Independence Party Chairman Frank MacKay.
