Congratulations to Governor Kathy Hochul on her decisive re-election.

The federal government has handed us many challenges over the last two years, including unchecked inflation putting everyday items like housing, childcare, and utilities further out of reach for our families and even more so for our most vulnerable neighbors. I am proud to call Governor Hochul a partner in our fight to protect all our residents, put hard earned money back in the pockets of New Yorkers and make our state a more affordable place to live.

I look forward to working with her and our colleagues in the New York State Senate to bring real solutions to our communities.
