ALBANY, NY - Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt, Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick and members of the Senate Republican Conference yesterday 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 commonsense alternative – a plan based in reality that will deliver a better New York for its hardworking citizens.

“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 

“The affordability crisis we are currently in didn’t happen by accident - it’s the direct result of years of one-party rule that raised taxes, piled on regulations, and drove up the cost of living. From housing and energy to groceries and childcare, Senate Democrat policies continue to make everyday life more expensive for New Yorkers. Families and small businesses don’t need more mandates or higher taxes, they need a different approach that taxes less, regulates less, and puts affordability back within reach. Our Republican Conference agenda does exactly that,” said Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick
