Thank you for the time @amromero109.bsky.social - proud to be working with you to keep scientists and union jobs in NY.
Tiers 5 & 6 have led to staffing shortages, unfilled positions, excessive mandatory overtime, high turnover, and low morale in local government workforces across New York, affecting our ability to deliver public services. We must fix this. See you tomorrow at the #fixtier6 rally at MVP Arena!
Iβm proud to be fighting for the Youth Justice Innovation Fund to ensure that our community organizations who provide our youth with the support and resources they deserve have access to Raise the Age funds.

Albany Assembly Member @amromero109.bsky.social has introduced similar legislation (A09076A) for New York, albeit with a less colorful name and acronym.
Joined upstate colleagues urging action on rising utility bills. 1.2M households are behindβ¦We need tax pauses, ratepayer credits, and reforms that put people over profits.
Iβll keep fighting for relief - itβs my job.π‘
Families are feeling the pressure of rising utility costs, and Iβm doing everything I can to ease the burden.
Applications are now open for the New York Enhanced Energy Affordability Program, which helps low & moderate-income ppl manage their energy bills.

My thoughts on the Governorβs recent public safety proposals!
As a proud member of the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, and Asian Caucus, I am SO excited to share these events with you for the upcoming Caucus Weekend!π₯³
Itβs an honor to co-host these events that will bring us great conversation, food, music, and connection.
As an Albany girl, Iβve had such a beautiful journey getting to know Guilderland and New Scotland during my first year in office representing the 109th AD.
I poured this love into my Letter to the Editor in the Altamont Enterprise. Check it out here: altamontenterprise.com/01152026/rep...
We released a statement with over 600 state legislators across 48 states saying we stand in solidarity with Minnesota. I was proud to be joined by dozens of my legislative colleagues to demand that ICE is defunded, pulled from MN, and that the recent murders of innocent civilians are investigated.
Today, we gathered to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to reflect on what his legacy demands of us now.
Let MLK Day be a reckoning. It is a call to courage, to action, and to choosing justice over comfort every single time.
Come by the Guilderland Public Library on January 28th to learn more about the New York State School Tax Relief (STAR) program, find out if you are eligible, and start saving on your taxes! Iβm excited to partner with Town Supervisor Barber and the Guilderland Assessor for this helpful training.

In both New York City and Albany, Democratic state lawmakers and advocates held a rally calling on ICE to be held accountable for the death of a woman who was shot and killed in Minnesota.
So many of us were sickened by ICEβs execution of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Today, hundreds came together to say NO the unchecked terrorizing of our communities. Iβm committed to passing the NY Civil Rights Act, MELT, RADAR & NY for All - and to fighting unapologetically for your rights.
Rapid response rally with @amromero109.bsky.social and @patriciafahy46.bsky.social

First day of session β done. Iβm excited that my colleagues are back in Albany and Iβm ready to get to work!!
Yesterday I presented $200,000 with Senator Fahy to the Village of Voorheesville for the restoration of the historic Bloomingdale store on Main Street!
Iβm honored to invest in this exciting project that will boost economic growth in Voorheesvilleβs downtown while preserving its rich history.β¨
In emergency situations, no one should ever have to worry about high medical costs. Iβm happy to share legislation that mandates insurance coverage for EpiPens and caps costs at $100 has now gone into effect. Medical care is not a luxury, itβs a human right.
I was unafraid today - standing with hundreds of you to say we are SICK and TIRED of this authoritarian overreach on our immigrant neighborsβ¦.I want our immigrants to feel safe, happy, healthy, and at home in the 109th AD and across NYS.
Happy Holidays AD 109! ππ Our LOB office will be closed for the holidays until January 2nd. Staff is working remotely December 29th & 30th. We will be right back in room 704 on Monday, January 5th!
Representing you is the honor of a lifetime and I canβt wait to continue our work in 2026! β€οΈ
I was proud to stand with Mayor-Elect Dr Applyrs this morning as she announced the continuation of Chief Brendan Cox as Albanyβs Police Chief. The Chief and I share the desire to invest in communities deeply in order to prevent the need to arrest and incarcerate.
Please see my statement on the recent ICE arrests targeting Afghan immigrants in our community.
I look forward to partnering with Mayor Applyrs to ensure that the historic hundreds of millions of dollars of investments coming into our city uplift every neighborhood and every resident.
Congratulations, Mayor Applyrsβ¦..the future of Albany is bright, and I canβt wait to work with you!
From day one, Iβve believed in Dr. Dorcey Applyrs and her vision for a city that truly serves its people. Her election as Mayor marks the beginning of a new chapterβ¦one defined by collaboration, accountability, and a shared commitment to making Albany stronger for *everyone* who calls it home.
The Guilderland Central School District will be hosting a community-wide recycling event next weekend.
THOUSANDS of us were out today on Western Ave standing in unity against Trumpβs fascist regime for No Kings 2.0 - I was in awe of the thousands of people around me and invigorated to be a small part of it.
Together we are stronger, more organized, and *united* we can move forward and through this.
