This budget centers the most pressing needs of New Yorkers and it is a reflection of our commitment to the hardworking families of our state. It makes targeted investments in critical sectors of our economy to help bring down costs and strengthen our economic future.
The budget puts resources into public safety and protection for all New Yorkers, by expanding the list of hate crimes, enhancing public safety though community investments, reducing recidivism and other meaningful measures.
Infrastructure and local community support are also central to our budget. We understand that strong and resilient local governments are the backbone of our democracy, providing essential services and infrastructure that support our daily lives.
"A thriving local news industry is vital to the health of our democracy and it’s our responsibility to help ensure New Yorkers have access to independent and community-focused journalism" @SenatorHoylman via @ncpr northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/497…
“In order to meet the goals of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, we need to partner with our municipalities right now to help them participate in this energy transition, and that’s what this grant funding will do” @SenatorHarckham midhudsonnews.com/2024/04/24/ele…
Our commitment to public health remains unwavering in this budget. We want to ensure that our hospitals have the resources to stand as pillars of our community.
“Our pets depend on us for safety and shouldn’t have to suffer because of their owners’ thoughtless actions. I’m proud that my bill requiring vacated homes to be inspected for abandoned animals within three days of a tenant’s departure" @SenatorHinchey dailygazette.com/hv360/lawmaker…
The New York Senate Democrats have always understood that a brighter future starts with investments into our youth. Through this advocacy, the SFY 2024-25 Budget includes vital funding for youth programming and intervention services.
In ongoing efforts to bolster New York’s economy from the ground up, New York State Democrats are continuing to invest in small businesses and development at all levels of the economy.
It is great to join my fellow public servants and advocates in celebrating the passage of a historic housing plan that meets the need to develop new affordable housing, helps safeguard homeowners and empowers tenants with strong protections in the principles of Good Cause!
In this year’s state budget, we are continuing our efforts to ensure New York remains affordable and opportunity-filled for working and middle-class families to put down roots.
"Today we take a significant step forward in protecting the health and wellness of young people" @ShelleyBMayer via @LarchmontPatch patch.com/new-york/larch…
"The bus terminal is a major gateway to Downtown Rochester and soon we’ll have a station our community can be truly proud of” @SenatorCooney via @SPECNews1ROC spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/rochester/…
In this year’s enacted budget, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing New York’s leading climate agenda by forging ahead on key investments and advancing modern policy to address the needs of the moment so we can not only stop, but also reverse the effects of climate change.
“We passed our one-house resolution in a statement of the Senate’s priorities, now were animating those priorities with a state budget that puts real resources into things that matter and makes a difference in people's lives” @AndreaSCousins spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…
“I am proud of this state budget, which prioritizes the needs of working families and invests in affordability, education, housing, healthcare and the environment. Together, we enacted a budget which delivers real progress for NYers” @AndreaSCousins yonkerstimes.com/majority-leade…
New York has been a beacon for the nation amidst ongoing attacks on reproductive rights, and we have used this year’s state budget to advance greater protections and resources for these services to ensure they remain available to all in need
Amidst the ongoing housing crisis, our Conference has put forward and secured a transformative housing deal that targets both the affordability and supply of the current market through meaningful tenant and homeowner protection, with real incentives to replenish the stock.
The Senate Majority Conference is the Education Conference and as in previous years we are taking significant steps to boost and protect education funding.

This part of American history connects us all. Juneteenth is an American Holiday and a significant moment in American history. One that everyone should take time out to reflect upon. #Juneteenth2023
On Juneteenth we remember the horror of the institution of slavery and the impacts that it has had on this nation, and its people. I am proud that we recently passed the NYS Community Commission on Reparations Remedies to study the effects of slavery on present day society in NY.
Tonight at 7pm I'll be joining @sarbetter on @CapitalTonight to discuss our work in these final days of the legislative session. Tune in 📺spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/capital-re…
In honor of #FortDrumDay, we welcomed the 10th Mountain Division (@drum10thmtn) to the NY Senate. Our veterans and active military personnel have made sacrifices to defend our freedom and it is our duty to continue improving veterans’ services in New York. youtube.com/watch?v=s1OfZp…
Yesterday, I was honored to meet with TN State Rep. @Justinjpearson, who was one of two Black men removed from the legislature for protesting gun violence. After being reinstated, he continues to stand up to discriminatory & anti-democratic attacks. We were proud to host him!
Today, we honor their lives and condemn the hateful rhetoric that motivated the attack so that incidents like this can stop occurring in this country. We will continue fighting to keep guns out of wrongful hands! My heart remains with the victims' families as we honor this day.
A year ago a terrorist attack happened in Buffalo, New York, taking the lives of 10 of our brothers and sisters simply because of the skin they were in.
The New York Senate Majority stands with the nurses currently fighting for better working conditions in their hospitals. Our state is a proud union stronghold, and we will always support greater protections for our workers! #NYCNurseStrike

Wishing you a happy Labor Day Weekend with family & friends. Now more than ever, Albany must continue fighting for organized labor. We must make sure that our workplaces are safe ones, with equal protections and pay for everyone.
Thank you for your work and leadership, @AndreaSCousins!
Statement from Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins on the amendment to codify abortion, contraception, and stronger equal rights in state constitution:
Happy #PrideMonth! We are committed to standing up for our LGBTQ+ friends, family, and neighbors. As attacks are waged against the LGBTQ+ community in other states, New York will continue to be a safe haven and strive for greater equality for all.
I am thrilled that Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson has been confirmed as the first Black woman to serve on the Nation’s high court. History has been made today and her confirmation brings us one step closer to achieving an inclusive democracy.
Upstate is on the frontline of NY's #housing crisis, & yet we are consistently left out of the conversation when we talk about solutions. That needs to change. I'm calling on the Legislature to stand up for all New Yorkers & deliver record funding for housing in the #2022Budget.
New York State is the birthplace of the Women's Rights Movement, and Women's History Month offers all New Yorkers an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on women's rights in our state and across the nation. #WomensHistoryMonth
It is the right of every NY'er to be treated equally & respectfully in the workplace. As lawmakers, it is our responsibility to protect survivors of sexual assault & harassment and ensure that all employers in NYS foster a safe and respectful work environment for their employees.
