Statement From Senate Democratic Conference Leader AndreaStewart-Cousins

“The Senate Democratic Conference stands with Governor Cuomo in calling for all 10 points of theWomen’s Equality Agenda to be brought to the Senate floor for a vote. Women’s health and

equality should not be a Republican or Democratic issue. The women of New York deserve a vote

on the entire Women’s Equality Act and deserve to know where their elected officials stand onthese important issues.”
