Statement From Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay

 “Ringing in the new year is always a meaningful time. It is a chance to reflect on where we’ve been and look ahead with renewed purpose, plans, and goals for the coming year. As state lawmakers prepare for the start of the 2026 legislative session, my colleagues and I are excited for the opportunities to improve the quality of life in every community. I hope the year ahead brings health, happiness and a sense of possibility to all New Yorkers. From my family to yours, I wish you a very happy New Year.”
