Assembly Dems identify committee chairs and some 2025 priorities

This past week marked the return to Albany by state lawmakers, staff, and lobbyists, as both houses had their opening days of session. And amid the pomp and free food, there was also some news, with legislative leaders (vaguely) identifying their session priorities and tapping committee chairs.

We're exploring what to expect from the people's house in 2025 and the significance of the new committee leaders with the help of former Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski, who now works for Brown & Weinraub.

And a reminder that we're also soliciting questions for Shontell Smith for a future episode. Leave a voicemail (that we might play on the air) at (518) 650-1463 or write to david.lombardo@wcny.org with your question (which can remain anonymous) and we’ll do our best to provide answers.
