There are additional seats that are still undecided which could further add to the Assembly Majority.
In a time rife with divisive politics, the Assembly Majority has been busy passing legislation and discussing issues that really matter to the people of New York. Voters clearly recognized and supported our efforts to raise the minimum wage, provide tax relief for the middle class, increase access to child care, protect our most vulnerable citizens, and dramatically invest in education and foster job growth.
Over the years, our strong majority has allowed us to take the lead in crafting legislation that serves as a model for states across the country. Going forward, the Assembly Majority will continue the fight for a higher minimum wage, a DREAM Act for immigrant youth, increased funding for our neediest schools, and the enactment of the full Women's Equality Agenda, including protecting a woman's right to choose.
This year's election has allowed us to build on and strengthen our majority, and we look forward to working with Governor Cuomo and our partners in government to continue to move New York forward and help improve the lives of its citizens.
