Welcome to my website!

Dear Resident of the 61st Senate District:

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website! 

As a result of the once-a-decade redistricting process, the Towns of Chili and Riga, the Village of Churchville, and some neighborhoods in the City of Rochester are now part of the 61st Senate District. I continue to proudly represent the Towns of Amherst, Clarence, and Newstead and the Villages of Akron and Williamsville in Erie County, and all of Genesee County, as has been my privilege since 2009.

At my website, you’ll be able to check out what I’m doing in Albany and in our community, learn more about my positions on important issues, and take a look at legislation I’m sponsoring in the State Senate.
