Senator Steve Rhoads

45 days late. No budget. No help for schools. No help for local road repairs. No answers. No transparency. But @GovKathyHochul and Albany Democrats are using your tax dollars to buy votes and fund the Mayor’s socialist wish list while you suffer. New Yorkers deserve better.

I can assure New Yorkers that nowhere other than in @GovKathyHochul’s imagination will this budget make New York safer or more affordable.

After major backlash— in the media and from her challenger in November—the Governor suddenly flip-flopped earlier today, now supporting the “no tax on tips” proposal Senate Republicans have been championing for over a year.

Wishing you a safe, healthy, and blessed 2026. Happy New Year!

🚨 Catch me on News 12 Long Island Power & Politics! Had a great conversation with Rich Barrabi about the current state of the Governor’s race and what it means for our communities. Be sure to check it out using the link below👇 longisland.news12.com/power-politics…

Today, we recognize the brave men and women who have served our great nation, both at home and abroad. Your selflessness and sacrifice are a lasting inspiration, and we thank you for all you've done to protect our freedoms. 🇺🇸

“The simple reality is people are leaving New York not because they don’t want to live here, not because it’s not a beautiful place to live, but because they can’t afford it.” - @SenatorRhoads And that’s thanks to the policies of Albany Democrats.

We’re in a sad place where the exchange of ideas is met, not with debate, but with a horrific and senseless act of violence. My thoughts and prayers are with Charlie Kirk, his wife and two young children. Political violence is NEVER the answer and has NO place in this country.

@GovKathyHochul is considering ‘legal sanctions on Mayor Adams? Bold move - usually it’s only New York taxpayers, businesses and motorists she’s interested in punishing!

The fact that public dollars are now funding a salary nearly double that of the Governor—and even more than the U.S. President —while half of New York students are performing below grade level is an insult to students, parents and taxpayers alike. msn.com/en-us/politics…

Special thanks to everyone who supported my successful re-election campaign last year. It's your dedication that fuels our efforts as we look forward to more Republican victories in the future!

Packed house for the 2025 Nassau County GOP Kick-Off Brunch! It was a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our commitment to building a brighter future for our County.

MTA = Money Thrown Away. Full forensic audit NOW! Actually celebrating swiping even more money from the pockets of working-class New Yorkers. SMH. Unbelievable. instagram.com/reel/DEa7u8oPR…

New York Dictionary - Hochul Edition “Inflation Rebate” - Give families $500 of their own money while jacking up State spending by $70 billion since 2019. “Savings” - Impose new congestion pricing tax and then claim to have saved you money because it’s not even higher.

Congratulations Wantagh Warriors - 2024 Long Island Class IV Football Champs!

“Governor Hochul’s immediate push for congestion pricing right after the election not only exposes a political stunt that prioritizes her radical agenda, but it also turns a blind eye to the real issue—MTA mismanagement” -@SenatorRhoads bronx.news12.com/lis-gop-senato…
