Senate Republicans Announce 2026 Legislative Agenda

New York leftist wing Democratic policies have made New York virtually unaffordable. These policies have brought higher taxes, higher electricity costs, higher heating costs, higher home costs, and higher grocery costs. In sum, Democrat policies just cost New Yorkers too much. The Senate Republican plan, led by Leader Ortt, would reverse these costs and make New York a better place for all,” said Senate Deputy Republican Leader Andrew Lanza.

Senate Deputy Republican, Republican Leader Rob Ortt and members of the Senate Republican Conference today unveiled “Save New York,” a comprehensive legislative agenda of policy goals for 2026 aimed at combating Democrat one-party rule in New York State. The Senate Republican agenda prioritizes hardworking New Yorkers – the New Yorkers left behind by radical, progressive policies coming out of Albany.

New York State is in a time of crisis. The decisions made and policies pushed by Albany’s ruling party have delivered a state that is among the, if not the most unaffordable states in the nation. A state that drives existing businesses out and discourages new opportunity at every turn. A state where the priorities of career criminals are placed above the needs of the law-abiding citizen. A state in a downward spiral. This is not the recipe for a sustainable future. The Senate Republican Conference is offering a common sense alternative– a plan based in reality that will deliver a better New York for its hardworking citizens.

“New York is one of the most beautiful states in the nation, and we should have people lining up who want to live and do business here - instead, people are leaving thanks to dangerous and out-of-touch policies championed by far-left lawmakers that have turned our state into a dystopian nightmare. The Republican conference stands ready to Save New York and restore sanity through common-sense policies,” said Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt.

“Save New York” is a plan to improve affordability, enhance public safety, and build a stronger New York for today and future generations:

Provide Affordability and Economic Opportunity
Create a Safer, Healthier, More Responsible New York
Protect Students and Defend Parental Rights
Hold Government Accountable
