In addition, Simpson will serve as the Ranking Minority member on the Social Services Committee.

“Serving the 114^th Assembly District will be one of the great honors of my life,” said Simpson. “I look forward to getting to work and delivering real results for the people of our community during these unprecedented times. I will ensure upstate voices are being heard for important budget decisions through my position as ranking member on the Social Services Committee and fight for protections to preserve our beautiful Adirondack region. As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be my mission to protect small business owners and struggling families statewide. Businesses desperately trying to stay afloat and families who are unsure where their next meal will come from deserve relief. I'm honored to serve you and be your voice in our state Assembly.”
