We’re putting consumers ahead of corporate profits and stopping companies from exploiting hardworking people. As Consumer Protection chair, I’m proud to sponsor two bills in this bill package: a cap on care rental fuel charges and the deletion of financial data after auto-renewal cancellation.

Proud to share that my bill, S4408, has passed the Senate. This legislation opens the door to renewable energy projects on parts of state reforestation land, helping New York reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, lower energy costs, and protect natural resources.

We brought together fantastic authors to stand up for the freedom to read. Powerful speeches highlighted how books inspire us, reflect our own lives, and open our minds to new perspectives. We must protect every New Yorker’s freedom to read, and that’s exactly what my bills (S1099/S1100) will do.

For Banned Books Week, I'd like to share a passage from a history book that holds significance for me, the one my grandparents wrote in the 1960s. Despite being an accurate account of our history, there was significant opposition to its publication, with calls for it to be banned.

This budget document asserts that New York is a civilized state that feeds the hungry, houses the homeless, cares for children, invests in infrastructure, agriculture, environmental protection, science, and public health, and defends immigrant neighbors, trans youth like my son, and the rule of law.

On World Photography Day, I honored two exceptional photographers for their contributions and dedication to our community with the NYS Senate 2025 Empire Award. Thank you, Michelle and Mike, for your outstanding and important work.

As budget talks continue, I’m working to support SUNY ESF and launch a new institute for mass timber and regenerative forestry in CNY. Mass timber locks carbon, supports year-round building, and is growing fast globally. ESF can help make our region a leader.

Last week, we saw several state legislatures, emboldened by an extremist Supreme Court, move to further disenfranchise Black voters. Here in New York, we should be proud that we are taking the opposite approach by making it easier for all eligible New Yorkers to exercise their right to vote.

Access to fresh, healthy food shouldn’t depend on where you live. Senator Baskin’s FRESH Communities Act will bring grocery stores to underserved areas and support local farmers. Proud to co-sponsor this bill that will benefit public health in communities across New York.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman on the anniversary of her passing in 1913. I’m proud that she made her home in Auburn, now part of the 48th District. Her courage and deep commitment to justice continue to inspire the fight for equality.

For the first time since I came to Congress, I won't attend the State of the Union address.
