Albany County Republican & Conservative Conference

Great news! Now- as we stated in our letter two weeks ago, it's time to repeal this senseless "all-electric" ⚡ mandate! ❌ spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/capital-re…

On Monday, the Legislature voted to approve Local Law 'G' - designating housing as a public purpose. Our Conference hears daily from constituents about the affordability crisis our communities. We hope this can incentivize more housing in Albany County - WITHOUT RAISING TAXES!

This week, our Conference voted 'YES' on resolutions tackling food insecurity in Albany County: ✅$2.9M totaling more than 250K meals for seniors ✅$750K to assist those affected by a lapse in federal benefits These investments will help ensure seniors & families are fed🍽️

A showing of great respect for local veterans in Albany County. We thank you for your service now and always! wamc.org/news/2025-11-1…

On Veterans Day - and every day - we honor and commemorate the service and sacrifice of those who have served our nation in the military. Thank you for making our country a beacon of freedom, prosperity and American greatness 🇺🇸🫡

Tonight marks one of the Albany County Legislature's last meetings of the calendar year. As always, there will be a public forum before regularly scheduled legislative business.

Was great to hear from a local @csd_south principal this morning about an event recently held at Lisha Kill, funded by an County Grant I supported. “Sweethearts & Heroes” is a national character education program that helps ensure young people shape our future with empathy!

Local elections across the state this year saw record amounts of turnout. Changing those contests to even years (with state and federal elections) is such an unpopular idea that NYC voters just rejected it at the polls! cbs6albany.com/news/local/new…

This is great and all...but will any of the former St. Rose properties be turned into tax revenue generators? Or will they all be government owned? news10.com/news/universit…

It's not just Kathy Hochul's responsibility. Every single elected Democrat in New York must make a stand against the spread of Socialism, Antisemitism, and Radicalism taking over their party. nypost.com/2025/11/04/opi…

Last week, our Conference urged Gov. Kathy Hochul and local state legislators to re-evaluate NY's home electrification mandates which are harming grid reliability and increasing utility costs for ratepayers. These policies are only looking worse by the day! Read the letter 📩

Our Conference is glad to support the Executive's food drive, especially in light of the uncertainty surrounding SNAP and other expiring benefits. It's time for Washington Democrats to get their act together and reopen the government.

To recap, Albany County: 1. Buys entire St. Rose portfolio in 2024 2. Turns properties over to Land Authority in 2025 3. Agrees to cover bond payments & operational costs 4. Now seeks to buy back 5 buildings What's the plan? 🤔 timesunion.com/news/article/a…

Governor touted Saint Rose for $40M investment. The plan might be changing. Via @AlbanyBizReview bizjournals.com/albany/news/20…

Another brutal indictment of "Raising the Age" of criminal responsibility. This isn't just a NYC problem, it's happening across our state and significantly impacting public safety in Albany, the River Cities and other localities throughout our County. nypost.com/2025/10/20/opi…

"Legislator @famcolonie noted that the budget would significantly draw from reserves and highlighted uncertainties" Our Conference will thoroughly examine every aspect of this budget, because that's what County taxpayers deserve! wgy.iheart.com/content/2025-1…
