The pro-development group Open New York recently launched Abundant New York – a separate effort – as an independent expenditure committee for pro-housing and pro-tenant candidates in state and city elections, including 2025. Open New York is also not yet at the point of making endorsements or committing to districts where they’ll get involved. “Where there are anti-housing incumbents and potentially viable candidates, we are paying attention,” political director Logan Phares said.
