The New York State Assembly is the lower house of the New York State Legislature and plays a critical role in shaping policy and legislation that affects residents across the state. Comprised of elected Assembly Members representing various districts, the Assembly is responsible for drafting and passing laws, approving state budgets, and addressing critical issues such as healthcare, education, housing, and public safety. Through active legislative committees and public hearings, the Assembly ensures transparency, community engagement, and responsiveness to constituents’ needs. It also works closely with the State Senate and the Governor’s office to enact state laws and oversee state agencies and programs.

The Assembly is known for its efforts to represent diverse viewpoints and promote social equity across New York’s urban and rural communities. By offering direct constituent services, including assistance with state programs and navigating government resources, the Assembly serves as a key connection between the public and the broader state government.
