One of the most important things we can do is to make sure our our kids are set up for success. The foundation to do that is to make sure they’re fed so that they can learn.

Closing the gap in Universal School Meals should be a priority. #Meals4AllNY

Mount Academy's Future Farmers of America chapter held their first annual banquet. Thank you participants, Michelle Hinchey for your keynote address, and Ulster BOCES FFA chapter for joining us! Mount Academy Events Club did a fabulous job of making and serving the meal.

You can’t solve the housing crisis without tackling short term rentals & the Times Union agrees!

Assemblymember Patricia Fahy & I are fighting for our bill because our communities can’t wait any longer.

Governor Kathy Hochul help upstate communities & let’s get this done! timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

We can't solve the housing crisis outside NYC without including short-term rentals (STRs) in the conversation.

Thanks to WCNY's The Capitol Pressroom for having me on to discuss my bill to create a STR Registry and our push to include it in this year's budget. 🎙️: bit.ly/3U2pj6W

In order to maintain accountability, equity, and the wellbeing of our communities, we must regulate the short-term rental market on platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, and other online marketplaces. That is why Deputy County Executive Mike McLaughlin attended a press conference today

🏠 Today, Senator Michelle Hinchey and I urged the inclusion of our legislation creating the first Statewide Registry of Short Term Rentals in this year's final budget.

STRs are straining our housing supply in communities across the state, amidst a housing crisis and lack of units. ⬇️

New Yorker taxpayers deserve a fair system that levels the playing field between hotels and short-term rentals and empowers local governments to collect outside revenue that reduces the LOCAL tax burden while also making new investments in tourism and hospitality

NYSHTA President Mark Dorr was glad to attend this morning's Short-Term Rental Registry Press Conference in strong support of Senator Michelle Hinchey and Patricia Fahy's Short-Term Rental Registry Bill in this year's State Budget.

Excited to see leaders coming together to advocate for full and fair school funding! Building coalitions is the key to making positive change in our communities. Let's keep working together to ensure every student has access to quality education. @NYSUT Michelle Hinchey

Many NY hospitals are closing or cutting entire categories of healthcare, especially in rural areas. Everyone deserves to know when their healthcare is in jeopardy. A bill I co-spon (S8843) would expand community input & provide data for the state to address healthcare shortages.

On Friday, Superintendent Kourt attended Senator Michelle Hinchey's press conference to discuss fair funding for our schools. Read the press release below

Thank you to Senator Michelle Hinchey and NYSUT leaders in the Mid-Hudson region for continuing to call attention to the need to fully fund Foundation Aid! Keeping the pressure on to make sure our students have the schools they deserve!!

Thank you!! 💙

Woo, hoo #CO2FrackingBan passed the NYS Senate just now and will proceed to Governor Kathy Hochul's desk! Thanks to Lea Webb Senator Liz Krueger who sponsored this bill and to Senator Rachel May Senator Pete Harckham and Michelle Hinchey who defended it. (1/2)

Thank you Gustavo Rivera & Michelle Hinchey for introducing legislation that would give all stakeholders a voice in healthcare service changes when a hospital is faced with potential closure. UUP President Fred Kowal was proud to speak to the important role this bill would play

During our recent Lobby Day in Albany, we had the chance to share our vision for #ClimateEducation with experts in education and agriculture including Michelle Hinchey! We're honored to lend our voice toward making the future of NY State ever-greener.

#NYSenate Bill S1851B, sponsored by @senatorhinchey, passed (60-1, unofficial). Permits the rendering of an estimated bill from a utility corporation or municipality under certain circumstances:

Kudos @nysenate for again
⬆️ tax credit for VFF and ambulance (@nyssenatormrm), ⬆️ $ to V-Fire Grant program, (@MichelleHinchey), echoing EMS an essential service (@shelleybmayer). Such good work being done for the volunteer first responders you represent and their departments!

One of my first jobs out of college was as a grassroots canvasser for Environment New York working to ban fracking before the moratorium.

Fracking wasn’t good then, it isn’t good now, and it won’t be good the future. Ban CO2 fracking now.

Let’s shout it from the rooftops: WE CANNOT CUT OUR SCHOOL FUNDING

Onteora might have been our rival 💁‍♀️, but it’s a great school doing a lot with already limited resources.

We cannot fund the government on the backs of our students. We will not cut Foundation Aid.
