Mark Walczyk

Please think long and hard about the future of our great state. This Fall, vote accordingly. A Republic, if you can keep it.

Pssst. It's not a farm.

Yippee. Election year gimmick! At least the governor acknowledged NY's over-collecting on utility bills. Why not just stop overcharging?

Gotta say: good. FINALLY

@alex_fasulo @NYSDEC So grateful for your voice!

I was invited this past winter by @MarkWalczyk to speak at the NYS Senate Energy Committee. I gave them a firsthand account of what ORES (Office of Renewable Energy Siting) is doing to our state. I also let them know ORES supersedes our entire @NYSDEC. They didn’t like hearing that very much. A majority of this committee is completely composed by climate extremists that are driving our state’s grid off a cliff.

I’m not sure you all understand how blindly and dangerously compromised by the green energy lobby the representatives in the NYS legislature are. @MarkWalczyk reported that Senate Democrats have moved this bill out of the Energy Committee. It’s advancing. The green energy lobby needs these bills to advance so they can collect subsidies and credits. A percentage of subsidies and credits they earn are then paid back to the politicians in the form of lobbying money to push unreliable infrastructure that’s going to poison the environment. Placing Chinese-manufactured and PFAS-coated panels over bodies of water and reservoirs has obvious consequences. Some not so obvious consequences: reduced sunlight entering the water, changes to aquatic plant growth and algae dynamics, oxygen and temperature changes in the water column, habitat disruption for birds, fish, amphibians, and insects, plastic float degradation over long periods, and visual and recreational impacts. These politicians never, ever consider habitat impacts for any of these dystopian credit-grabbing projects. Yet they claim this is for the environment. The public needs to wake up to what you are witnessing here - and soon. These politicians will poison all of Upstate NY if we allow them to.

Happy March 79th. Tweet didn't age well. Kinda like this budget.

@MarkWalczyk took to the NYS senate floor last week to debate centralizing even more power under the Office of Renewable Energy Siting. The bill in question: S2485 It’s never, ever going to be enough for these people. They despise us, our home rule, and our little local zoning laws. They despise us disagreeing with their totalitarian approach to forcing ineffectual wind and solar into our communities. Their only solution is to force it against the will of the town. That’s how Senator Kevin Parker likes to do it. He takes his orders from @KathyHochul like a good little boy. Since our legislature is held hostage by one-party rule, they don’t listen to the citizens of this state. They don’t care how we feel about ORES. Bravo to Senator Walcyzk for time and time again being a voice of reason on the issue of ORES. Every NYS politician should be acknowledging the will of their district: we do not want ORES complexes.

You do indeed get what you vote for.

Hochul: we spent $88.7 billion on "green" energy People: my utility bill is ridiculous Albany: MORE!

Right. Right. Wouldn't want the public to find out by telling them what's coming...

“There is no budget deal,” Democratic Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie tells reporters immediately after @GovKathyHochul. “I don’t care what the governor says,” when asked if the final # is $268B spending plan.

Let NYC have them then and leave us alone.

Brace for battle as Hochul revives New York’s gerrymander threat | @nypost #NY #Hochulmander #gerrymandering @makracker @ChairmanEdCox @TheRepLawyer @NickLangworthy @OrttforSenate @MarkWalczyk @John_Seravalli1 @cpnys @claudiatenney @EliseStefanik nypost.com/2026/04/30/opi…

No.

@mikemurphy33 Senator May first wanted to bulldoze State reforestation areas to put up solar fields and battery storage. Today, while people are struggling with utility bills, she wants ratepayers to pay more for data centers and battery storage. Wild spin, man.

No one loves standing up for higher utility rates more than @MarkWalczyk! He loves issuing press releases, but then, when it comes down to standing up for customers, he does the bidding of the utility companies

50th. Might need some new leadership for the Excelsior State.

The citizens of NYS deserve to have a transparent budget process especially with a budget that is $270 billion. It's no secret there's concerns in the budget 🛑the impact of the CLCPA 🛑the rising cost of insurance rates 🛑the continued runaway spending of taxpayer dollars.

.@MarkWalczyk alongside our entire Conference, are fighting to provide taxpayers with a life line RIGHT NOW. As Senator Walczyk laid out in the interview below, we've proposed numerous utility relief bills to heal your wallet including…🧵 wsyr.iheart.com/content/2026-0…

The Public Campaign Finance Board had the opportunity to do the right thing today. Instead, they did the governor’s bidding.
