The 2023 General Election ballot includes races for the New York City Council, Bronx and Queens district attorneys, judicial positions, and two ballot questions to amend the state constitution.

To help our supportive Citizens Union members prepare to vote, Citizens Union has been publishing an annual Voters Directory for over a century. The current edition provides a roster of Citizens Union’s endorsed candidates in several key races, and information about the rigorous evaluation process and assessments of candidates.

Citizens Union evaluates candidates for office to determine who strongly supports our issues, can advance a reform agenda, and can best fulfill the obligations of the position. Interview teams made up of 30 volunteer Local Candidates Committee members and Citizens Union Board members assessed the candidates based on their responses to Citizens Union’s questionnaire, research, first-hand knowledge of the candidates, and interviews with the candidates. The Citizens Union Board considers the recommendations of the Local Candidates Committee and makes a final decision.

You can find our candidate evaluation below. Click the tabs above to find more information on candidates’ responses to Citizens Union’s questionnaire and our positions on the ballot questions.
