Issue Position: About Donna Lupardo

Issue Position

Throughout her time in the NYS Assembly, she has had numerous pieces of legislation signed into law. Donna has a special interest in protecting the public from potential health risks and environmental hazards, having passed: tenant notification of environmental testing results, toxic spill notification rules, lead testing of school drinking water, and structural inspections of parking garages. She is also committed to raising awareness about the importance of indoor air quality, including radon exposure.

One of her first bills was the Contract Disclosure Act which required that state agencies disclose how much they spend annually on private contractors. Other bills she promoted include the Work Zone Safety Act and Yield-Right-Away legislation designed to keep our roadways safer.

The Assemblywoman has worked especially hard to revitalize the state's agricultural sector. She was the driving force behind the creation of the state's Industrial Hemp Pilot Program which began in 2015. This new agricultural commodity is quickly becoming a major driver for the state's agricultural industry. She also has co-sponsored numerous bills to help grow the state's craft beverage industry.
