Cuomo Road Trip Hits RCC Today

Andrew Cuomo starts his "Drive for a New NY" today in order to advance his citizen organizing initiative, and makes a stop at Rockland Community College as part of an 11-day swing through more than a dozen counties across the state.

Coming to townin an RV, Cuomo is slated to be at the RCC main campus in Ramapo at 12:30 p.m. today.

"Ours is a different kind of campaign where we are working to develop a citizen coalition around a new agenda of competence and integrity in government to bring sweeping change and dramatic reform to Albany," Cuomo said Wednesday. "During these visits, we will show New Yorkers that we can make government work again for the people."

Cuomo says his organizing events bring together community leaders, a bipartisan group of elected officials, and dozens of volunteers who will then go out in to their communities to encourage New Yorkers to sign on to his five-point plan for a New NY.

During the "Drive for a New NY," Cuomo says he'll visit all 62 counties, holding similar organizing events in every region of the state. Last month, Cuomo and his lieutenant governor candidate Robert Duffy held a statewide conference call with more than 1,000 volunteers to as part of their statewide organizing drive.
