Statement From Assembly Republican Leader Will Barclay  On The First Day Of The 2025 Legislative Session

  “The first day of the 2025 Legislative Session marks the beginning of another crucial opportunity to address the problems New Yorkers face. This past election cycle should serve as a wake-up call to our colleagues across the aisle; cost of living and public safety are the urgent issues that impact everyone and demand our attention.

     We cannot forgo another week, month or year without providing meaningful answers to an environment that ultimately drives people to leave New York. We must act boldly, work together and put the needs of New Yorkers first. The policies implemented in six years of Albany’s One-Party Rule are not delivering the results families and businesses want. This legislative session needs to be the start of a dramatic course correction.”
