“When Democrats occupy the White House, Republicans use the debt ceiling to demand spending cuts, and to hold the government, and the country, for ransom.”
Holding the debt limit hostage could have dire economic consequences for Americans.
Mark Poloncarz has set the gold standard for county executives, particularly since the onset of a historic pandemic that severely tested government at every level.
Three years later, Erie County’s finances have never been in better order - as evidenced by the unanimous, bipartisan approval of the county’s 2023 budget - and our county is growing for the first time in a half-century.
The Republican Party has shown that it cannot govern, and voters won’t be impressed by opportunists who snipe from the social media sidelines.
There is no one better suited to keep our community moving forward than County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
Democrat Mark C. Poloncarz is widely viewed as planning for an unprecedented fourth term while showing every indication of running again.

"Immigration has enriched Buffalo for two-and-a quarter centuries. The faces and languages change, but the benefits continue to accrue.”
Buffalo absorbs still another immigrant community into its politics, with Bangladeshis voting, holding patronage positions and even forming a Buffalo Bangladeshi Democratic Club.

Congratulations to all!
“If it took them 15 ballots just to choose a speaker, how could Republicans possibly govern?
“Now we know. They are going to govern by fantasy and legislate on the basis of fiction.”
The GOP's "weaponization" subcommittee is just the start.

Congratulations to Sean Ryan for State Senate on his new leadership role as he continues to be a strong voice for working families and WNY in Albany!
The Buffalo Democrat describes some of his plans for the State Senate Committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business.
I am proud to support Judge Mary Carney and Judge Deanne Tripi for re-election to Erie County Family Court. I am excited to elect Judge Shannon Filbert to Erie County Family Court this year as well.
“…these days a vast majority of Republicans in the House are either extremists or opportunists willing to go along with whatever the extremists want. It's important, however, to realize that GOP economic views are almost as divorced from reality as their political fantasies are.”

Congratulations to our endorsed Family Court incumbents, Judges Mary Carney and Deanne Tripi, and to Shannon Filbert for Erie County Family Court Judge, who has been an outstanding town judge for West Seneca and will be a great addition to the Family Court bench!

"At the dawn of 2023, we again turn to the Poolball Predictor for the best semi-accurate prognostications this side of Ellicott Creek," Robert J. McCarthy writes.
This will be a critical local election year - help us maintain our momentum by donating $23.23 to the Erie County Democratic Committee Victory 2023 fund, and we will get you a commemorative Governor Kathy Hochul inauguration pin!
New York’s state and national leadership - Gov. Kathy Hochul, Senator Chuck Schumer D-NY, and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries - is second to none!
Brooklyn’s in the House — and the Senate!
With Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries at the helm, Congressional Democrats will continue delivering for the American people and building a stronger, safer country for all.
“The days-long struggle to choose a speaker has raised fears across the Capitol that McCarthy may not be able to manage his narrow majority or effectively govern.”
And the insurrectionists and election deniers say “mission accomplished.”
For the first time this week, McCarthy's allies sounded optimistic that they had enough support within the Republican Party to elect him speaker.
Rift between Republicans and Conservative party on display as County Legislature names a new member
County Conservative Party Chairman Ralph Lorigo wanted Republican officials to name his daughter-in-law to the post and suggested that their selection of Elma Councilman James Malczewski will cost those who seek his party's backing in the future.
Thank you, President Joe Biden, for recognizing those who protect us and preserve our democracy through their service and sacrifice.
Biden is giving one of the nation's highest civilian honors to 12 people who showed "courage and selflessness" related to the Jan. 6 attacks.
Congratulations, Chair April Baskin For Erie County, and thank you for your outstanding leadership!
As I watch the merry-go-round in our nation’s capital, with the vote for Speaker of the House obscuring the historic appointment of Congressman Hakeem Jeffries to the highest leadership post held by an African-American, I can’t help but appreciate the unanimous support of my fellow legislators to again serve as Chairperson of the Erie County Legislature. Building relationships on both sides of the aisle takes intentionality and a willingness from all members of the body to put the needs of the residents first. I am glad we have that sense of responsibility in Erie County government. I'd like to thank my colleagues for their votes today, especially Majority Leader Tim Meyers and the rest of the members of the Democratic Majority, and Minority Leader Mills for being the first signature on my petition. I remain hopeful for Representative Jeffries, and I wish the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Carl Heastie, Buffalo Common Council President Pridgen and all lawmakers across New York State charged with the privilege and responsibility of presiding over a legislative body, a year of peace, productivity and equity for all residents who they are elected to serve.
“It’s a spirit of cooperation, a shared desire on creating a better tomorrow that powers all of these developments and guides us towards a healthier and more inclusive Erie County. I am honored to serve as your county executive and proud to be a member of the team that is building a stronger county in 2023 and into the future.”
- County Executive Mark Poloncarz

Election deniers shouldn’t be elected.
"It's now about 18 years that I've continuously served in elected office, so I certainly have a passion for it, and a passion for Western New York," Jacobs said in a wide-ranging interview.
From the Senate floor today, I offered my prayers to Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin and his family. We’re all rooting and praying for his recovery.
