Executive Policy Proposals
Auto Insurance Rates
Across New York State, auto insurance rates have skyrocketed, exacerbating our affordability crisis. To combat this, Governor Hochul put forward a number of proposals, including one to reinvigorate New York State’s Motor Vehicle Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Board and crack down on anyone who organizes staged accidents and perpetuates fraudulent claims. Do you support this proposal?

3D-Printed Firearms
Governor Hochul recently signed legislation requiring gun manufacturers to prevent firearms from being easily converted into machine guns. She now proposes expanding these protections by addressing the rise of 3D-printed firearms. This proposal would add safety technology to 3D printers, criminalize the unlawful sharing or possession of 3D printed gun blueprints, and increase penalties for illegal manufacture. Do you support strengthening New York’s laws on 3D-printed firearms?

Preventing Senior Scams
According to an FBI report, more than 4,300 New Yorkers aged 60 and older lost a sum of over $200 million to scams in 2023. To prevent financial losses, New York State passed legislation last year authorizing banks to place temporary holds on suspicious transactions. This year, Governor Hochul's proposal would require the New York State Office for the Aging to create free online training modules to help New Yorkers prevent and respond to scams. Do you believe this will further help in the prevention of senior scams?

Access to Affordable Child Care
In 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor reported that child care costs families nearly $16,000 per year, per child on average. For many families, this cost creates a barrier to full-time employment and puts a major strain on household budgets. The Governor and both legislative bodies are proposing several state-level programs to make child care more affordable by expanding subsidies, investing in child care infrastructure, and increasing access for families of all income levels. Would you support policies that expand access to affordable child care for all New York families?

Assembly & Senate Legislative Proposals
Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act
The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749) would require companies to reduce unnecessary packaging, increase the use of recycled materials used for packaging, and fund municipal recycling programs. This Act aims to shift the cost of waste management from taxpayers to large corporations. Do you support this legislation?

Identification Standards for Law Enforcement Officers
Suffolk County Police officers have strengthened local community trust through a commitment to transparency. With the goal of addressing transparency concerns state-wide, proposed legislation A8908 would require all local, state, and federal law enforcement officers interacting with the public in New York to display visible identification, such as a name or badge number, and prohibit the use of masks during those interactions, with limited exceptions. Do you support this proposal?

The NY Health Act
The NY Health Act (A1466) would create a universal single-payer health plan for all New York residents, regardless of age or health condition. It would provide healthcare, prescription coverage, dental, and vision care with no premiums, no copays, deductibles, or other out-of-pocket expenses; instead, it would be paid for by a payroll tax on all New York employees, with studies suggesting that 90% of New Yorkers would pay less annually for their healthcare. Do you support this legislation proposing a universal single-payer health plan for New York residents?

 Maternal Care in Correctional Facilities
Women who are pregnant or have recently given birth face unique health and safety risks, but there are currently no minimum standards in New York State for their medical care and treatment while incarcerated. The CARE Act (A4879A), would require the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) to establish regulations for accommodations as well as prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric care, in correctional facilities. Do you support this legislation?

Single-use Food Items by Request
Single-use items like plastic utensils and condiment packets are often included with takeout and delivery orders but go unused, ending up in landfills and worsening New York’s costly solid waste problem. Assemblywoman Kassay’s bill, A6949A, would require restaurants, cafes, and delivery services to provide these items only upon customer request. This approach– already adopted by delivery platforms and municipalities nationwide– reduces waste and helps businesses save money. Do you support this legislation?

Your Community

Modernization of the Port Jefferson LIRR Line
Despite having the highest ridership on the Long Island Rail Road, the Port Jefferson branch is one of the few remaining diesel-operated lines in the MTA system, negatively impacting travel times and air quality. Riders almost always need to transfer at Huntington in order to complete their trip to or from New York City, adding 15+ minutes to travel time and preventing a “one-seat ride” from our region to the city. In 2025, Assemblywoman Kassay worked tirelessly in Albany and in Suffolk to further local LIRR improvements. Do you support investments into the modernization of the Port Jefferson LIRR line?

Assessing the NY School Cell Phone Ban

At the beginning of the 2025/2026 school year, a new policy went into effect limiting student cell phone use in classrooms across New York. The goal of the policy was to reduce distractions, support mental health, and foster a better learning environment. How would you describe the impact of this change on students and learning in our local schools?

Infrastructure for Walking and Biking
While Assemblywoman Kassay and her colleagues work to regulate problems around the use of e-bikes and e-scooters, they are also talking about the benefits of non-vehicular transit in communities like ours. Whether commuting to school or work, or enjoying recreation and exercise, local residents of all ages rely on non-vehicular pathways throughout the district. From Routes 112, 25, 25A, and 347, to the Setauket-Port Jefferson Station Greenway Trail, Assemblywoman Kassay has been working towards improving safety and mobility on sidewalks, greenways, and bike lanes. Do you support the preservation and expansion of infrastructure for walking and biking in our district?
