Welcome to Informed NY — the independent voice of New York, by New Yorkers, for New Yorkers. This isn’t just another publication; it’s a movement, born from the grit and passion that define our state.

Let’s cut to the chase: what we are, what we’re not, and what we hope to become.

We are your voice for everything New York — the good, the bad, and yes, the ugly. Our state has faced its share of challenges. But  we believe in New York. We believe in its people, its innovation, its breathtaking landscapes, and its unrivaled seasons. That’s why we’re here, committed to making a difference.

This magazine is more than a platform; it’s a rallying cry.

A space for New Yorkers to speak their truth, share their stories, and take ownership of our state’s narrative. Unlike mainstream media outlets that claim to be unbiased while clearly catering to corporate interests, we’re different. We’re proudly independent, unapologetically biased toward traditional family values, our Constitution, and the fundamental freedoms that define America.

We’re not here to silence voices; we’re here to amplify them. As someone who ran for NYS Assembly, I know what it’s like to be ignored. Press conferences, 

calls for attention — all met with silence from the media while my opponent dominated the airwaves. That’s not how progress happens. Progress demands open dialogue, even when we disagree. That’s why we invite people of all beliefs to contribute, debate, and engage. Diversity of thought made New York great, and it’s what will guide us forward.

We aim to be the go-to source for everything New York. Not just politics and government, but the full spectrum of what makes this state extraordinary. From its culture to its communities, from its triumphs to its trials. Because let’s face it: not all Republicans are good, and not all Democrats are bad. To move forward, we need informed citizens who can think critically, embrace New York’s majesty, and weed out the nonsense holding us back.

This is a call to action.

Let’s reclaim our state through candid conversations, authentic stories, and a shared commitment to truth. The big networks won’t do it for us — they’re too busy spinning their agendas. But together, as New Yorkers, we can.

Welcome to Informed NY.
Let’s get to work.
