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.

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.

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.

Farm workers do vital, demanding work that puts nutritious food in our grocery stores. In my district, Cayuga County leads the state in dairy production, and these workers do the hard, daily work that keeps farms running. Thank you for this resolution supporting New York’s farm workers.

My bill, the Freedom to Read Act (S1099), affirms that every New York student should have access to inclusive, developmentally appropriate library collections chosen by librarians. Advocates went to Albany to urge Governor Hochul to sign the bill.

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.

I worked to ensure this year’s budget included language from my bill to streamline environmental review and reduce unnecessary barriers to construction, making it easier to build housing that is good for the climate. Thank you to everyone who advocated for these reforms. Now, let’s get building.

The Senate Majority votes today on several bills that will strengthen our democracy and make voting easier in New York. I’m proud to have my bill included, giving election commissioners the option to establish short-term polling sites to ensure voting is safer, more efficient, and more accessible.

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.

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.

AN UNSULLIED SHIELD (1913) is an early (though not the earliest) example of the "ancestors climb down from their portraits" trope. A young wastrel is shamed for his partying ways by a mystic television program showing his forebears dying in combat.

Was ich an dieser Stelle der Nordreportage mag? Sie adressiert die Probleme, die Autos uns seit Jahrzehnten mit immer mehr Wucht in unserem Alltag schaffen. Dennoch ist die tägliche Debatte eher von EscooterBashing geprägt. Ich wünschte, wir alle, die unter der Autodominanz leiden, wären eine Lobby.
