I have spent the last eight years fighting in the State Senate for structural change that makes a real difference in New Yorkers’ lives.

• Passed the Tenant Safe Harbor Act to keep tenants in their homes during COVID-19

• Extended New York’s anti-discrimination law to transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers by passing GENDA and sponsored legislation banning so-called “gay conversion therapy”

• Sponsored the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act to protect our climate, move toward clean energy, and uphold labor standards and worker protections

• Strengthened New York’s vaccine requirements to protect kids in our schools from measles and other vaccine-preventable illnesses

• Passed legislation allowing the U.S. Congress to finally have access to Donald Trump’s state tax returns

• Co-sponsored the Reproductive Health Act, making Roe v. Wade the law of the land in New York

• Took on the landlord lobby by passing New York’s landmark rent reforms to make rent regulations permanent and end vacancy decontrol

• Cracked down on pandemic price-gougers by passing into law new penalties against overcharging for PPE and medical equipment

• Required police departments to publicly report the demographics of every person who is arrested or cited and our State Courts to report racial and demographic data on judges

• Sponsored the pied-a-terre tax to make out-of-town investors who buy luxury second homes and leave them vacant pay their fair share

• Enacted legislation to make it easier to help enable seniors to stay in affordable housing
