105 District legislative update

As my first legislative session year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to share some of our noteworthy achievements on behalf of the 105th Assembly District. First and foremost, I am honored to announce the successful passage of several bills that pay tribute to our fallen first responders and veterans. These bills, totaling five in number, were initiated at the request of local families who sought to preserve the memory of their loved ones. With the passage of these bills, we have ensured that our local heroes will forever be memorialized through their own designated sections of the New York State Highway System. Additionally, I am thrilled to inform our community about the remarkable progress made on “Melanie’s Law” in collaboration with Assemblymember Brian Cunningham’s office. Our legislative team has worked tirelessly to advance this crucial piece of legislation, which aims to address a dangerous loophole that exists in our current laws.

My office has also worked with federal partners, local leaders, and our public utility companies to engage our constituents and address our community’s needs. I am proud to announce that over ninety percent of constituent cases that have come to our office have been resolved. My office has attended over two hundred events across the 105th Assembly District and successfully brought home in excess of $200k in grants which will be announced at a later date.

I want to express my gratitude to the constituents who have entrusted us with their concerns and issues. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our community, and I remain committed to working tirelessly towards creating a brighter future for all.

Should anyone wish to contact my office, please feel free to reach out via phone at 845-221-2202 or email at Beephana@nyassembly.gov.
