“As a member of the New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus, I stand by our commitment to ensure the budget and other legislative initiatives properly advocate and express the needs of low income and minority communities. The vibrant diversity of New York propels our ambition of fundamental equality for all, especially for those who are most vulnerable. In order for New York to progress we must begin to pave the way for hardworking families to prosper; that is why the Caucus and I remain a united force for reform resulting in women’s equality, affordable housing, sufficient funding of our education system and adequate livable wages.”
