For forty years, not one minority candidate has been selected for the position of Commissioner of the NY State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Several qualified minority candidates have shown interest in this role, yet the Governor's Office has bypassed a comprehensive selection process to nominate Daniel F. Martuscello III. This lack of diversity in executive leadership is unacceptable and does not reflect our community's values.

We urge the Senators to reject this confirmation and demand a thorough vetting process that considers all qualified candidates fairly. Sign this petition to ensure transparency and diversity in our state's leadership appointments!
