Thank you Sen. James Skoufis for all you do for Cornwall and Orange County. We're lucky to have you!

Serving as a state senator is an honor, but it’s also a job, and one that I take seriously. That means showing up every day for work, just like everyone else. I’m proud to share that I was one of 60 state lawmakers – out of 213 – who was in-attendance and in-person for every day of legislative session this year.

Ensuring Orange County residents get the resources they need requires a voice in the room every day in Albany. I’m proud to represent this district, and committed to doing the best job I can.

Here is a rundown of the major events of the war, as both sides consider their next moves.

Affordability - where the average worker's dollar covers the basics of everyday life.

That is what we're focused on as the New York State Democratic Party. That is what we're working to deliver.

Thank you Rep. Pat Ryan for standing up for those getting squeezed by high prices in the Hudson Valley.

For the past several years, the Cornwall Democratic Committee has delivered historic victories, and has set a county-wide example for effective organizing and leadership.

We offer endless gratitude to our friend, outgoing Chair Barbara Smith Gioia for her amazing work. And congratulations to our new Town Chair, Chris DeFilippi.

Chris has been one of the most active members of our county leadership team, and a valuable part of our committee in Cornwall. We’re looking forward to another two years of successful organizing and local victory under his leadership.

Thank you Sen. James Skoufis for standing up for Cornwall and Orange County.

"In May, it was revealed by the State Comptroller’s Office that the county had improperly distributed sales tax revenue to municipalities. The county has been sharing 3.75 percent of its sales tax revenue for more than a decade, though it is authorized to share only 3 percent.

“This mess was caused by the county administration, caught by the state comptroller, and fixed by our bipartisan state legislative delegation,” Senator James Skoufis (D, Cornwall) said. “It was critical we did so; absent the fix, property taxes would’ve skyrocketed, and local services would’ve seen deep cuts. As long as I’m in office, I’ll always put our taxpayers first. I thank the Governor for expeditiously signing this important bill.”
