~52% of the 2025 mayoral Dem primary electorate in NY-12 was age 50 .
66-75% of the 2018/2020/2022 Dem primary electorates in NY-12 were age 50 .
If this poll is accurate, and the 2026 electorate is anywhere close to traditional midterm electorates, Lasher will be hard to beat.

🚨 NY Ranks 4th in the US for Crypto Kiosk Complaints!
Older adults are especially at risk for crypto kiosk fraud. Hundreds of NYers were scammed last year, losing $18K on average.
Urge your legislators to help prevent crypto ATM fraud before it happens: spr.ly/6017B8WCkS

bill S.8623-A (May) / A.9349 (Torres) would ban the use of personal consumer data to set individualized prices and require companies to disclose when automated pricing systems are used, helping ensure a fair and transparent marketplace.
🚨Charging people more based on their data is a ripoff — plain and simple.
⏳As session ends, we’re fighting to pass the One Fair Price Act and stop surveillance pricing in NY.

NY welcomes one of the strongest utility reform packages in years inc. rebates, stronger oversight, & RATES Commission. A step toward real relief for consumers facing soaring costs. NY still falls short by failing to fully fund aging services & support caregivers, says @bethny.

😮The two-year average crypto kiosk loss in NY is $14,000.
@tullylake34 sat down w/ @poozer87 to discuss crypto kiosk scams. These machines are essentially ATMs, but criminals are using them to take life savings in minutes.
It’s time to stop these scams: action.aarp.org/secure/act-n…

🚨 Long Island utility shutoffs skyrocketed 130% in just one month.
Too many older NYers struggle to pay energy bills. They deserve respect.
@KristenMcManus: what we heard about a PSEG rep’s treatment of customers is unacceptable.

.@bethny: Budgets reflect priorities & right now older New Yorkers are not being prioritized. NYC must invest in the housing, nutrition, & community services that allow older adults to age with dignity.
🍎 $500M meals & nutrition
🧠$800M community supports
🏠$1B senior housing

.@bethny: Utilities are not a luxury; they are a necessity & one that is increasingly out of reach for older NYers. This surge in shutoffs is unacceptable and exposes a system that is failing NYers. They need immediate relief & a rate-setting process that puts consumers first.

If we let caregivers fail the whole long term system will fail. Caregivers are the backbone of the whole system.
In her @cityandstateny op ed, @bethny calls on NYS & NYC to invest in aging services, caregiving & community-based care. "In effect, these caregivers are subsidizing a system that has not kept pace with the needs of an aging population."
Older NYers built NY—they deserve better.

Fair Pricing for Everyone! #OneFairPriceAct
Retailers can use your personal data & shopping history to charge you higher prices. Sounds like a scam, but for now, it’s completely legal.
Today, @bethny joined @NewYorkStateAG & @AMEmeritaTorres to support the One Fair Price Act, which would ban surveillance pricing in NY.

Great stride forward for NYS Safety!
⚠️Safer Streets For New York City Residents ⚠️
@bethny: AARP New York is pleased to see this common-sense public safety measure announced in the final NY budget agreement to help stop reckless repeat speeders & make New York’s streets safer for everyone. #stopsuperspeeders (1/4)

We commend @GovKathyHochul for taking swift action after reports surfaced of utility company reps mocking New Yorkers struggling to pay their utility bills. (1/4)
Making jokes about shutting off power to vulnerable customers is completely unacceptable.
I expect PSEG-LI to take swift and decisive action against the official who made these comments and have directed @NYSDPS to investigate whether these offensive comments point to a more widespread problem.
PSEG-LI must take action to rebuild trust with its customers, many of whom are struggling with high energy bills that are no laughing matter.

Scammers have always targeted older adults ,
constantly moving into the latest tech - now it’s #CryptoKiosks The good guys need to head them off at the pass! #aarpny
AARP New York urges action on S.9891/A.10899 to crack down on crypto kiosk fraud.
With $4.8M lost in NY (average loss=$11K) & older adults accounting for 2/3 of losses, stronger protections are needed.
Thanks to @JSandersNYC, @clydevanel, & @SeawrightForNY for joining us.
