My name is Dan Clark, and I’ve been covering New York politics for more than 10 years. I’m the author of the Capitol Confidential newsletter, a new newsletter devoted to state politics.
Recently I’ve been writing about the upcoming elections, constitutional court challenges and legislative battles. I already have my sights set on how New York politics could impact control of Congress in November. You can ask me about that, anything that happened at the statehouse during this session, or our newsletter.
I've also covered well-known politicians like former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, N.Y. Attorney General Tish James, Rep. Elise Stefanik, and more faces from New York.
You can follow my work at CapitolConfidential.com, Twitter/X and LinkedIn.

What is the response in NYC to the city using hotels as migrant shelters? Is this supported by many or not?
I hear that ~20% of hotel rooms are no longer available.
Are there any brewing plans to replace funding that the MTA lost from the congestion pricing freeze, or plans to reinstate congestion pricing/announce a date for it to begin?
Hello, and thanks for doing this AMA.
I’m a non-New-Yorker. Could you explain why (it seems like) whenever NY governor Hochul makes the national news, it is for doing something remarkably centrist for a state as blue as New York? For example, putting the National Guard in the NYC subway seems like it was security theater more for suburbanites in Long Island than something that actual New York City-ers were requesting. Happy to be corrected on any misimpression(s) that I have.
