** For years @LindaBRosenthal has fought for #HAVP ** Thank you for being tenacious leader Assemblywoman ♥️.
For years, the #NYSAssemblyMajority has fought to ensure every individual has access to safe, quality, affordable housing. This year’s state budget delivers by investing $50 million to create a Housing Access Voucher Program!

An honor to work alongside this team and pass #MedicalAidInDying in the Assembly. Can’t wait to celebrate the same victory in the @NYSenate.
Lobbyists often get a bad rap, but Assemblymember @AmyPaulin explains how lobbyists @AmandaLCav and @ciccone_louann were critical to passing #MedicalAidInDying through the Assembly.

The storm of cuts is here, NY must invest in services for our most vulnerable.
Elected officials from local & state levels joined me in urging Gov. Hochul to fund critical services for 60 days after the unlawful suspension of federal grants. We won’t abandon NYers in crisis—we must fight for their care, their dignity & their wellbeing. 🧵 of co-signs
