ALBANY – Today the New York State Senate Republican Conference unveiled “Liberate New York,” a comprehensive legislative agenda of policy goals for 2025 to combat the Democrat establishment in New York State.

This packet’s priority is the everyday, hardworking New Yorker – the New Yorkers left behind by radical, progressive Democrats in Albany.

Extreme policies enacted as a result of the Democrat establishment have had a direct effect on the quality of life and opportunity across this state. Which is why New York leads the country in outmigration since 2020. The current majority has continually proven its misplaced priorities on the issues, ineptitude to understand the needs of New Yorkers and inability to lead. Senate Republicans are offering a plan based on common sense that will deliver a better New York, one its people want and deserve.

“From endless taxes, migrant spending and out-of-touch energy mandates to name a few Democrat driven policies driving this state into the ground,” said Rob Ortt, State Senate Republican Leader. “Throughout these failures one theme is clear– their willingness to prioritize their political agendas over the everyday hardworking New Yorker. Streets lined with crime, knifings in broad daylight in the middle of Manhattan, illegal migrant gangs terrorizing neighborhoods. Yet the focus is shifted to new taxes on New Yorkers already seeing their dollar stretched thin, like congestion pricing, and unfunded mandates that will further exacerbate the affordability and housing crisis. Farms in our rural communities have been dwindling because of state mandates increasing regulatory costs jeopardizing production.”

“Liberate New York” is a comprehensive legislative agenda for 2025 outlining a plan to fight for New Yorkers against the active destruction of our state from radical democrats in Albany. This agenda prioritizes improving affordability, improving public safety, and building a stronger New York:

  • Provide Affordability and Economic Opportunity
  • Create a Safer, Healthier New York
  • End the Migrant Crisis
  • Protect Students and Defend Parental Rights
  • Call For Government Accountability
