Issue Position: Seniors

Issue Position

During his six years in the Assembly and first term in the Senate, James has fought against those who have tried to take advantage of our senior citizens.

Over the past year, James stood up to three of the largest property management companies in the country when they tried to price senior citizens out of their homes. James took the fight to the executives directly, resulting in all three companies slashing their rent increases.

During his time in the State Legislature, James has stood up to those who have tried to cut the Enhanced STAR program and other benefits that seniors rely on. James also successfully worked to save Valley View Nursing Home when adversaries in the Orange County Legislature tried to sell the facility to the highest bidder.
