Assemblywoman Joyner Offers Support for Heastie as Assembly Speaker

lj

In recent days I have joined my colleagues in spending countless hours grappling with important decisions about the future of the New York State Assembly and the people we serve throughout the Empire State. As we prepare to embark on a new era and tackle important public policy issues that affect all New Yorkers, it is critical for us to elect a Speaker of the Assembly who is an open-minded, proven leader committed to building consensus and respecting the diverse needs of our complex state.

 

Carl Heastie is just such a leader and clearly deserves our support.

 

As I know from personal experience, Carl has a lengthy track record of being deeply committed to expanding the role of women in government and he has played a vital role in overcoming fractious divisions and unifying one of New York’s most diverse counties. His extraordinary skills would prove invaluable to the state Assembly as we move forward and I urge my colleagues to support Carl Heastie’s election as our next Speaker.
