The 2023 Real State of the State

Join the Advocacy Institute for an analysis of Governor Kathy Hochul’s State of the State address and her priorities for the legislative and budget session, after winning her first election for the Governor’s office. After the recent midterm elections there are some fresh faces in Albany, not only in the State Senate and Assembly but also on the 2nd floor in the Governor’s team. With this shifting landscape comes different priorities and the Advocacy Institute is here to help advocates make sense of all these changes. In this training we will provide:

• An overview of Governor Hochul’s State of the State
• An analysis of what advocates can expect from the Assembly & State Senate
• An update on who are some of the key players in the upcoming budget process
• Overview of budget timeline
• Some next steps for advocacy
