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.

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.

PFAS, “forever chemicals,” don’t disappear; they contaminate our water for generations. We have a right to know when industries release pollutants into our streams, lakes, and groundwater. I’m glad the Senate Majority passed my PFAS testing bill (S.4574B), because we can’t fix what we don’t measure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With nearly 20% of our waste made up of food scraps, we can’t ignore the cost to our environment or economy. Restoring $5M for Food Waste Reduction grants and supporting programs that help communities cut landfill waste and emissions is a smart investment for NY.

The economy didn't just lose 92,000 jobs last month, but it did even worse than expected. We need a government that actually creates new jobs and opportunities, rather than tariffs and wars that raise costs for all of us.

It’s time to talk about Brexit… Leaving the EU has harmed our economy significantly. By putting Britain back at the heart of Europe, Labour is tackling the cost of living crisis.

Far-right groups can try all they want to create distractions, but they can't hide the human impact of kicking hundreds of thousands of working people in Colorado off their healthcare. I'll keep fighting for a fair tax and healthcare system that serves everyone, not just the wealthy few
