Serving you in the State Senate is a great honor. Since 2019, I've written more than 100 laws and helped secure billions of dollars for schools, housing, transit and protecting our climate. Together, we can keep working for a New York that is fairer, safer, and more affordable - a New York that gives everyone an opportunity to thrive.

Keeping Kids Safe Online

As the father of two young kids, Andrew’s top priority is keeping our children safe. He has stood up to Big Tech and successfully passed landmark laws to protect children and teens from addictive algorithms and exploitative data collection on social media.

Making our Streets Safer

Andrew believes smart regulations, well-designed streets and investments in transit can make it safer and easier for New Yorkers to get to school, work, and all the places they need to go. 

Support Working Families

Andrew knows we need to be even bolder to support New York families. That’s why he’s proposing the Working Families Tax Credit.

Expanding College Access

Andrew believes New York should be a place where all families can put down roots, grow, and thrive. That means creating pathways for young people to access a high-quality, affordable college education.
