Other countries invested in renewables to shield themselves from volatile fossil fuel markets.
Meanwhile, Trump doubled down on oil and gas—then started a war in the Middle East, driving prices higher for Americans.

A new report shows that my ASAP Act would save ratepayers $1B annually.
The rest of the world is turning to renewable energy sources because of their affordability and relative ease (and low cost) of implementation.
We are falling behind every day we wait to take real action.
Proud to announce that my bill establishing the Office of Resilience has passed the Senate.
Severe weather events are costing our communities millions of dollars each year in clean up. We must streamline our climate resiliency efforts to protect residents well-being and save taxpayer money.
Wishing a colorful and joyous Holi to all those who celebrate!

It’s time to reject the oil & gas industry’s false claims. NYISO reports that natural gas, not renewables, is driving high utility costs.
We can cut emissions, lower bills and create good-paying jobs if we have the political courage to act.

We need to make UPK truly universal so families can take advantage of the program.
Waiting until 2028 does not help the 3- and 4-year-olds and their parents who need more slots today.

Think more natural gas is the solution to NY's affordability crisis? Think again!

I joined parents & educators in Croton with @amdanalevenberg.bsky.social to call for increased UPK capacity & funding.
We appreciate the Governor’s support, but families across NY still face inequity. Pre-K shouldn’t depend on geography or a lottery. It’s time to fully fund UPK statewide.

I was proud to join clean water advocates yesterday for the Hudson River Advocacy Day.
The Hudson River is a critical resource environmentally and economically and it is vital that we maintain the health of this historic waterway for the benefit of our community and future generations.
The 2025 numbers are in: solar remains the fastest-growing energy source in the U.S., surging 35% in just one year.
Even with efforts to prop up fossil fuels, they simply can’t compete with increasingly affordable solar power.

I’m proud to announce that my bill requiring OASAS treatment centers to provide service to residents regardless of their financial situation has just passed the Senate. Everyone deserves access to life saving treatment because recovery is not just for the wealthy.
Trump may act as though his authority is absolute, but this country is still governed by the rule of law, and this decision is a reminder that his power can be checked.

Trump’s decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding is going to cause serious harm to our public health and economy in addition to undoing years of work combatting climate change.
Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing all who observe a peaceful and spiritually enriching month filled with reflection, growth, and blessings.
Rev. Jesse Jackson was one of the most influential moral voices of our time; leading the charge for civil rights and continually calling for America to live up to its highest ideals of equality, dignity, and justice for all. The torch he carried now passes to us.
Happy Lunar New Year from my family to yours!
I joined colleagues and angryNYSEG customers to call on the PSC to rein in proposed rate hikes.
NYers are facing a cost-of-living crisis. Families are struggling to afford the essentials; massive utility increases are not the answer.
The PSC must stand with consumers.
Wishing everyone the best on this Presidents’ Day, our national holiday honoring our past great leaders who endeavored to protect and uphold our Democracy.

As the world transitions to EVs, Trump cedes the global auto market to China and the future demise of US automakers.

I’ll be sharing updates from the ongoing legislative session and answering your questions, thoughts and concerns.
I hope to see you there!
Trump continues his reckless assault on public health, the environment and rule of law.
Repealing the endangerment clause guts climate science and will cost communities billions in damages from climate related disasters while doing immeasurable harm to public health. Insane.

Texas has embraced solar energy and already saved ratepayers $30B.
Instead of doubling down on volatile natural gas, which drives up utility bills, we should accelerate the transition to more affordable solar power. Passing the ASAP Act alone would save NYers more than $1B every year.
Removing the Pride flag from a key symbol of LGBTQ+ history is another attempt by Trump to erase our country's history and marginalize community members.
We won’t let our history be rewritten. We stand proudly with the LGBTQ+ community, always.
