"After being elected with only two weeks left of session, I'm proud of all three of the bills that I introduced. Despite the short timeframe, I was able to get three bills passed: S8256, which creates a clear accommodation for sabbath observance for trash tickets; S8257, which improves access to fertility care; and S8265, which ensures continued access to backup devices for patients with cochlear implants."
"I don't think I'd describe them as "lesser", but I think a lot of the simpler things get overlooked too often, and sometimes it's the simple things that make the biggest difference. One of the programs our office runs is sending out birthday cards to seniors in our district to tell them about different support programs that improve quality of life and provide essential resources."
Senator Sam Sutton represents the 22nd Senate District in Brooklyn, covering Borough Park, Midwood, Madison, Homecrest, Gravesend, Gerritsen Beach, Sheepshead Bay, and Marine Park. He introduced and secured passage of three bills despite having only two weeks left in the 2025 legislative session: S8256 establishes a clear accommodation for Sabbath observance relating to trash tickets, S8257 expands access to fertility care, and S8265 guarantees continued access to backup devices for patients with cochlear implants. The senator emphasizes daily constituent engagement, accessible office services, and practical community programs such as sending informational birthday cards to seniors.
