Student loan debt should not be a qualifier for employment.
I passed a bill ensuring that New Yorkers are judged by their skills, their character, and their commitment — not by the balance of a loan they took out to chase the American Dream. @NYSA_Majority @NYSBichotteHerm

Junk fees have plagued New Yorkers for far too long.
That’s why my office has been fighting to end these illegal scams and make New York a place everyone can afford to live and work in.

🚨 NY Auto Rate Plan Better For Session, Not Budget, Experts Say
The New York state budget is stalled in part by Gov. Kathy Hochul's push to reform auto insurance laws and curb rising premiums, which has left insurance experts divided over whether the proposed comparative fault system will be effective — or should be in the budget at all. law360.com/insurance-authori…

There is simply no finer public official than Senator Krueger. All NYers should wish her a full and speedy recovery
Sending my best wishes to Senator Krueger for a strong and swift recovery.
Liz is a relentless advocate for New Yorkers. We’re thinking of her and wishing her strength in the days ahead.

I asked each of the auto insurance companies that reported lobbying on Hochul's proposals how much (or if) they expect to lower prices for policy holders if lawmakers green-light the legislation
None of them would say: capitolconfidential.com/p/au…

Thank you @NYSenDems for fighting to preserve the rights of NYers and victims of car crashes.

Andrea Stewart-Cousins: "We want to make sure if there are things the insurance companies can do to lower prices, that they are doing that as well." That should be the priority, not making it harder for crash victims to recover.

Let’s talk about how the @NYDFS recommended auto premium increases over the last 5 years and @GovKathyHochul rubber stamped approved without any evidence to justify the increases.
ICYMI: Acting Superintendent Asrow joined @CapPressroom to discuss reducing auto insurance costs.
As @GovKathyHochul’s proposals tackle premium increases, DFS is focused on delivering immediate relief today.

“Weakening protections does nothing to lower premiums or rein in discriminatory pricing. It simply ensures that when someone in a neighborhood of color is injured, they receive less help and face greater hardship. That is victim-blaming.”
If New York wants affordability in the auto insurance industry, we should focus on discriminatory pricing. See my op-Ed in City & State: cityandstateny.com/opinion/2…

Hard to believe that a progressive state like NY has a governor who is anti-environment and sides with Big Business/Big Insurance over victim rights @GovKathyHochul
More than 50 people have BARRICADED the doors to @GovKathyHochul’s office to defend New York’s Climate law and lower our utility bills.
Now is not the time to cave to TRUMP and his WAR FOR OIL.

Never trust a used car salesman like the one
@GovKathyHochul
seeks to portray. Instead she should explain what she's done with the $10/per NY auto policy to combat fraud? EVERYONE OPPOSES FRAUD! Where's the money Governor? Have you spent even a dime of it to combat fraud?

Insurance CEOs just got a 27% boost in salary and bonuses while New Yorkers face premium hikes & non-renewals.
They say they’re broke. The numbers say otherwise.

A champion for working families, the Senate, someone who led us out of the political wilderness, and most importantly a great dad & husband. You led us into the greatest majority we’ve seen- and the best floor leader we’ve seen in action here. You will be greatly missed, Mike.
I have decided not to seek re-election this year. Thank you to so many who have been on this ride with me throughout the years. It has been an honor to serve my community. My full statement below
