Eric Lesh, Executive Director, LeGaL, The LGBT Bar Association of New York

“The days of ‘three men in a room’ at the New York State Capitol are over. LeGaL, The LGBT Bar Association of New York, congratulates Andrea Stewart-Cousins, who is set to become the first woman, and first black woman to lead a majority conference in the New York State Legislature. We look forward to working with the Leader and the rest of the Democratic Conference to take immediate action on the legislative priorities affecting the LGBTQ community and other vulnerable populations here in the state. In this unprecedented time, when the federal government is attacking the most marginalized, it is more important than ever that we have strong leadership to defend New Yorkers from the Trump Administration. Andrea Stewart-Cousins is that leader.”
