Patty Ritchie is running for State Senate to protect the down-home values and unique character of Northern and Central New York, and give the residents of our region a strong voice in decisions that affect us, like taxes and Albany’s overspending, the need for new jobs, and making sure we get our fair share again.

High taxes and Albany’s runaway spending are making it tough for hardworking Upstate families to make ends meet. And the Senate’s downstate leaders have ignored the needs of farmers, businesses and residents of Jefferson, Oswego and St. Lawrence Counties, who currently lack a strong voice who stands up for us.

Patty Ritchie has already stood up to Albany’s entrenched and out-of-touch leaders, and as our State Senator, she’ll do it everyday.
