If you’ve been keeping up with the news out of Albany, you probably know that the New York state budget is late *again*. In this episode of State Government 101, I explain why this benefits Governor Hochul and stymies progressive political change, and what we can do to fix it.

I got to sit down with @ghostrunnerblog.bsky.social to discuss a wide range of policy issues, the ins and outs of the lobbying process in Albany, and the NY-12 race. Here’s a choice cut of our conversation about AI companies and the RAISE act.

Did you know that our legislature actually *can* pass important bills in a timely manner? 🤯 In this episode of State Government 101: how a bill I co-authored passed in just 13 months, and why it’s so difficult for most legislation to make it through NY’s state legislature.

At last night's candidate forum on small businesses, I got to talk about how creating a robust environment for small businesses to thrive in is integral to maintaining a healthy labor market in the AI era.

Join me at 1PM this Saturday, 6/6 in Washington Square Park for a special Pride Canvass Kick-Off! I’ll be joined by some exciting guest speakers to discuss LGBTQ+ issues, then we’ll break to go talk to voters during this critical stretch of the campaign.

They say it takes a village to raise a child -- the same thing is true when it comes to running a campaign. Donate by May 11 to help me meet my fundraising goal, so I can spend less time making these videos and more time raising my kid and talking to voters!

State Government 101 Office Hours was a success! Thanks to everyone that came to chat about the New York State Legislature with me. If you have a question on the topic, I'm pretty sure I have an answer - so feel free to drop me a line!

Fun at the NYC Dance Parade!

Washington Square Park should be welcoming to all - gates won't accomplish that. Thanks to @abc7ny.bsky.social for highlighting my statement at yesterday's Community Board 2 meeting on this topic!

The Voting Rights Act ended Jim Crow, but Louisiana vs. Callais is a slap in the face to those who bled for that victory. During Freedom Summer, James Chaney was murdered in Mississippi just for helping Black Americans reclaim their voice at the ballot box.

The by-election in Stafford came about through the sudden death of Jimmy Sullivan. A domestic incident triggered a crossbench move. Jarrod Bleijie was at his most savage toward him & David Crisafulli not much better. Speaker Pat Weir was actively supporting him. #qldpol
