NY lags behind other states when it comes to earned time & other measures that enable incarcerated people to demonstrate rehabilitation & reduce their sentences. I'm a proud supporter of the Earned Time Act & am ready to vote yes on this bill, in committee & on the floor.

Indian Point closed for a variety of reasons. Reopening it now, despite cheaper alternatives being available, and in the context of the most chaotic and risky presidential administration in American history, is a total non-starter.
"Apparently, Congressman Lawler brought President Trump's Energy Secretary to Indian Point today to unveil Republicans' latest plan to make life more expensive and dangerous. Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy per kilowatt hour; reopening Indian Point at this point in time would not bring utility costs down. Furthermore, we simply can't trust the Trump administration to keep us safe. A former NRC Chairman recently called Trump's executive orders on nuclear 'a guillotine to the nation's nuclear safety system.' And this was before the president began brazenly defying international law, raising terrorism risks to horrifying new heights. This proposal makes zero sense for the communities surrounding Indian Point, which includes New York City just 25 miles to the south. I remain adamantly opposed to it."

Big Oil & gas are trying to dismantle the CLCPA. NY must stay committed to our landmark climate goals. Rising utility costs are driven by maintaining expensive, outdated gas infrastructure, not the CLCPA. ICYMI, read @amdanalevenberg.bsky.social's op-ed: www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

We're hearing lots of smears about the CLCPA because change is scary, & it's easy to keep doing the same things we've done for decades. But weakening this law would be a mistake. We CAN implement our climate law in ways that don't cost NYers tons of extra money. (1/2)

Our current moment has many historical parallels. We should be trying to learn from all of them instead of remaining in denial about the danger we are in. We must speak out and take action at every opportunity; we can't just watch when our nation starts to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Are we allowed to learn from history on Holocaust Remembrance Day? Apparently, some think the answer should be no if it raises uncomfortable questions about what is happening in our country. During remarks on yesterday's Holocaust Remembrance resolution, a colleague interrupted my floor speech to say that current events were not germane to the topic at hand. I encourage you to watch the entire video and determine the relevance for yourself.For me, as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, it is frightening to watch the United States take steps toward becoming a totalitarian state. America's current approach to immigration enforcement is inhumane. It is also being used to expand the nation's surveillance and detention capacity, as well as being a means to coerce states to comply with unconstitutional orders. We need to oppose this now; let us not be like Martin Niemöller, who saw what was happening but did not speak out until it was too late. What is the point of remembrance if we are just going to watch when our nation starts to repeat the mistakes of the past? If we are silent about what is happening, "Never Again" means nothing.Because of the interruption, I cut the following passage from my remarks, which reference my firm belief that we need legislation like New York for All, Dignity Not Detention, and the MELT Act to protect people in this time: "Masked federal agents cannot continue rampaging through communities and into homes with warrants they signed for themselves. Human dignity requires due process, transparency, and the right to counsel. If these rights are not for everyone, we will eventually find they apply to no one."I share this full video so that you can see the resistance I am facing as I continue to push for legislation to protect us and our neighbors. I do not want you to email the colleague who interrupted my remarks, but you should continue reaching out to Assembly leadership and the Governor to demand that New York pass a suite of new laws to protect us from the federal government.

A primary driver of high costs in NY is the cost of housing. A multi-pronged approach to bringing these costs down must include electrification, & our All-Electric Buildings Act. Read my op-ed with Assemblymember Anna Kelles in today's @timesunion.com: www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...
