- Trump endorses Zeldin. No surprise. What more do we need to know? Zeldin is the most hard-right-wing Repub candidate for NY gov we’ve ever seen. @GovKathyHochul @KathyHochul
- I have heard 52 State of the State addresses in my career. The one delivered today by @GovKathyHochul is the best of them all! #StateOfTheStateNY
- Will you join me and Brad Hoylman in saying NO to Governor Cuomo’s Penn Station land grab
- Taxes? @KathyHochul won middle class tax cuts for NY. Zeldin failed to restore full deductibility of state & local taxes. #NYGovDebate
- I early voted this afternoon for @KathyHochul & the whole Dem ticket. And the Bond Issue. Happy to vote for @tonysimone after 52 yrs of voting for myself.😀👍
NEW: Assemblyman Dick Gottfried, the longest-serving legislator in New York history, will retire after more than a half-century. Elected at 23, Gottfried became a fixture in Albany, championing liberal policies before they gained momentum. nytimes.com/2021/12/13/nyr…- As we battle the #COVID19 pandemic, New Yorkers need a strong social safety net more than ever. This is no time to cut #Medicaid! #NoMedicaidCuts #ProtectMedicaid
- I was one of the few Assembly Members who voted against 50-a when it was first passed, and I cosponsor the @Danny_ODonnell_ bill to #Repeal50A . To have peace, we must have justice.
- The #NYHealthAct has passed out the Assembly Health Committee! It offers the best path to achieve comprehensive health coverage for every NYer, cut administrative waste & unaffordable co-pays, deductibles, or premiums - & would save 90% of NYers money. Let's #PassNYHealth now!
- Note on #ChelseaExplosion: @BilldeBlasio team keeping local elected officials posted w frequent detailed updates. Great work.
- I'm introducing an Assembly companion bill to Sen @BradHoylman’s bill to let NYC set speed limits lower than 25 MPH. It will improve safety, reduce accidents, and better reflect different neighborhoods’ needs and quality of life! bit.ly/2LwgEsv @NYC_SafeStreets @TransAlt
- You may have seen the letter from @NYSenatorRivera and I calling for Emergency Medicaid coverage for #coronavirus #COVID19 tests & treatment for undocumented NY'ers. Great news tonight - new guidance from @HealthNYGov does it! (bottom of page here FYI - @thenyic @CSSNYorg
- #COVID19 made problems in NY's nursing homes worse. Need more accountability, regulation. Time 2 stop licensing for-profits, which have higher infection, bedsores rates, worse patient-staff ratios. #Nursinghomes should be care providers, not profit centers
