Assemblyman David Buchwald (D-Westchester) announced that a total of 23 Assembly members, himself included, have put forth a series of questions to the candidates running for Assembly Speaker. These questions have been delivered to every member of the Assembly Democratic Conference so that they all have an opportunity to sign on.
“When I was elected to the State Assembly in 2012, I promised to bring a fresh approach to Albany so that we could restore public trust and foster a culture in which government functions responsibly and ethically,” said Assemblyman David Buchwald. “While recent events and allegations have been troubling to say the least, this upcoming race for Assembly Speaker presents a vital opportunity to present a reform-minded approach. I’m very pleased to join my Assembly colleagues in asking the Speaker candidates for their priorities when it comes to institutional reform, and to continue making progress on our broader effort to make Albany work for the people of New York. The time has come for a change.”
