Welcome Letter
Welcome to my New York State Assembly Web page.
You can use this page to easily access information about the work I do both in Albany and at home to pass laws designed to build a stronger, healthier and more vibrant New York. You can also access the legislation I sponsor, the committees I sit on and contact information to reach me.
In addition, you can use the entire Assembly Web site as a great way to stay apprised of new legislation that impacts our state as well as the Assembly District. I encourage you to visit this site often to keep yourself up to date on various issues, news and legislative hearings. Thank you for visiting.

"I stood next to the father, just a couple feet away, as the seven caskets were right next to him. I listened to a father describe his loss. The father spoke about people respecting each other, about the importance of husbands and wives getting along, and about recognizing what is really important in life. This is what the father spoke about. He accepted this tragedy--a tragedy that neither he nor anyone else could comprehend--and spoke what is really important, which is for people to recognize that we need to care for each other, we need to not get caught up with the petty things that at the end of the day are of no consequence. That's what he said at the funeral with those caskets right next to him. It was one of the most remarkable things that I have ever seen in my entire life and a lesson for myself." <a href="http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=&bn=K00660&term=2015&Summary=Y&Text=Y">K660</a><br /> ', 'vidcap', browser);)
