RFK Jr. Submits Record-Breaking Signatures in NY, Challenges Trump and Biden Like Never Before
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is proving that he is a formidable contender in the race for the presidency.
Robert F Kennedy Jr's presidential campaign is shattering expectations and gaining serious traction as he pushes to get on every ballot in the upcoming election against Donald Trump and Joe Biden. In a groundbreaking move, the Kennedy campaign today announced that it had submitted 135,519 signatures in New York—three times the required amount—to secure ballot access. This feat marks the highest number of signatures ever submitted by a presidential candidate in the state.
In a powerful display of grassroots mobilization, dozens of volunteers carried over 70 volumes of signatures into the New York State Board of Elections office in Albany. Over the past six weeks, the campaign has conducted two rallies, a college bus tour, and hundreds of local events, with more than 900 volunteers from all 63 counties stepping up for this historic initiative.

New York is notorious for its stringent ballot access requirements, combining convoluted rules for processed documents, congressional district signature requirements, manual validation, residency tests, a short six-week petitioning window, and one of the highest signature thresholds in the nation. Despite these obstacles, the Kennedy campaign has made history in a state with deep Kennedy family ties—where Robert F. Kennedy once served as a U.S. Senator and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. began his environmental advocacy by spearheading efforts to clean up the Hudson River.
There's been overwhelming support from New York voters who are eager for a viable third option in the November election. This achievement underscores the campaign's momentum and the resonance of Kennedy's message.
The Kennedy campaign's aggressive ballot access strategy aims to place the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. With over $15 million raised, the campaign's plan is fully funded and well on its way to achieving its goal. The ticket is already on the ballot in seven states—Utah, Michigan, California, Delaware, Oklahoma, Hawaii, and Texas—and has collected enough signatures for ballot access in nine additional states, including New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey, and now New York.
Overall, the Kennedy-Shanahan campaign has secured the necessary signatures for ballot access in 16 states, representing a total of 229 electoral votes—43% of the 538 electoral votes nationwide. This substantial progress is a testament to the campaign's effective strategy and widespread support.
