Senator Rachel May
@rachelmayny
It's great to be back in Albany for the 2026 legislative session. I'm looking forward to a productive year focused on policies to lower costs while maintaining our commitments to the services that residents in the 48th Senate District rely on. A few of my priorities are highlighted in the video.

New York’s commitment to free expression means readers should have access to diverse materials. My Freedom to Read (S1099) and Open Shelves (S1100A)bills help protect that access. Thank you to my Assembly colleagues and the fantastic authors who supported these bills at our rally today.
Abortion is healthcare, and having one doesn’t disqualify someone from being a good parent. Still, reproductive history is often used against parents in custody cases. My bill (S.8860) will put an end to this, protecting children’s interests and ensuring access to reproductive services without fear.
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.
Over $1.2 million in funding for Onondaga County Public Libraries will help ensure a positive experience, whether browsing popular books, researching, or studying quietly. To best serve the 48th District, our libraries must be safe, secure, accessible, and equipped with the latest technology.
Too many New Yorkers, especially in rural counties, struggle to find dental care closer to home because there aren’t enough providers. My bill, now law, allows dental hygienists to collaborate with dentists and deliver care without direct supervision. This change will help expand access.
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.
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.
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.
Harmful algal blooms threaten our lakes, putting drinking water and public health at risk. My HAB Monitoring and Prevention Act (S1833A) gives municipalities the tools to identify and respond. Thank you to the Senate Majority for passing my bill and other environmental bills to celebrate Earth Day.
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.

Remember when we had a POTUS who considered himself president to ALL the people, even if they disagreed with him, and didn't call them names, or tell people to 'beat the hell out of them' - who was actually presidential?! Good times...

Ads are a perfect mirror of the moment we're living in. The three types dominating right now are Ozempic/GLP-1, online casinos, and AI. They all share one playbook: sell fantasy over authenticity. 🧵

A food bank CEO said fuel costs went from $14,000 to $24,000 a month. That extra $10,000? It was going to feed people. Now it feeds a gas tank. This is the economy they’re bragging about. Tell me again who’s winning.

A question for @andyburnham.bsky.social: What do you mean by "stronger public control"? Does that mean a) direct public ownership or b) just better regulation?
The internet is flooded with clips, leaks, and rumors and the people in power connected to them. But one thing is clear: the public deserves transparency and accountability. Whether you’re outraged, questioning, or just paying attention your voice matters.
