The Independence Party of New York is reorganizing. As of January 1, 2022, our longtime Chairman, Frank MacKay, resigned to focus on other ventures. We hope to be back better and stronger in the future.  For information, email William Bogardt, State Secretary, at drshay@optonline.net

In the middle of the height of the COVID pandemic, the former Governor of New York and the Democratic Party State Chair led a charge to make it much more difficult for minor parties in New York State to maintain ballot status. The Independence Party lost its ballot status in 2020.
