Michael Carey for NYS Senate 46th District

Michael CareyThe first and foremost reason that I am running for the 46th District Senate seat is to sincerely serve all people within Albany County and New York State in a much greater measure. As a reformer, I not only believe, but know, that I can be a large part of bringing much needed transformation in numerous areas. I will sincerely work hard and persevere until necessary changes are made. I will stand up and speak for what is right and just. I will truly serve the people within Albany County, and all of New York State, with utmost integrity. Since my oldest son Jonathan was killed three years ago, we have been able to successfully get 7 laws passed and signed into New York State law. Although the success I have had in getting laws passed has primarily been in the area of helping the disabled, I have many other important ideas in which I believe that I can tremendously help the people in New York State. I have worked many hours with numerous legislators and the legislative leaders in both houses over the past three years, and I have established a good rapport with many of them.
