Albany, NY—New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-40) has accepted a new position in the Assembly as Vice Chair of the Majority Conference.

“As Vice Chair of the Majority Conference of the State Assembly, I will have greater firsthand access to the issues and decisions that drive the entire State of New York,” stated Assemblyman Ron Kim. “Whether it is fighting to protect small businesses and jobs, providing adequate solutions to the opium epidemic, or advocating for educational equity, I will be at the forefront in helping the conference set its larger vision and agenda for our state. I am very grateful to Speaker Carl Heastie for entrusting me with this role, and will do my best to continue fighting for my constituents.”
