“The Senate Majority continued to build on last year’s historic legislative successes. Despite a challenging budget process, we secured significant victories throughout the entire legislative session, including expanding Medicaid coverage for new mothers and senior undocumented immigrant New Yorkers, making childcare more accessible for New York families, strengthening fire safety regulations, critical gun safety reforms, making prescription drugs more affordable, and more. These measures are necessary investments into our communities that will enable and empower New Yorkers to thrive.”
“I am proud to have fought for critical legislation and successfully passed 51 bills through the Senate, 35 of which passed through both houses of the legislature. Our work is far from over and we must continue addressing the most pressing issues affecting New Yorkers, like staggering rent and cost increases and challenging public safety concerns. Whether we are talking about overhauling our broken healthcare system with the New York Health Act or opening overdose prevention centers in places that need them, or more local measures, such as ensuring small business owners in New York City have commercial leases, we must continue elevating our community’s voices to ensure we are building a more equitable and fairer New York,” said State Senator Gustavo Rivera.
