Nation continues to amplify its voice in critical election year
CATTARAUGUS TERRITORY, IRVING, N.Y. – The Seneca Nation is taking a significant step to further amplify its voice in the 2026 election year.
Nation leaders have approved the formation of an Independent Expenditure Committee (IEC) with initial funding of $1 million. According to New York Election Law, an IEC is a political committee that only makes independent expenditures and does not coordinate with a candidate, candidate’s authorized committee, or an agent of a candidate.
In New York, there will be elections for Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General and all 213 seats in the New York State Legislature in 2026.
“This is a critical election year in New York State,” said Seneca Nation President J. Conrad Seneca. “As advocates for our people, we won’t let the important issues that impact the Seneca Nation get lost in Albany’s fray. Our voice will be heard.”
