“When Assemblyman Will Barclay (R,C-Pulaski) stepped down as leader, our Conference knew it was essential to have a strong, steady voice for reason and common sense in Albany, and Assemblyman Ed Ra (R-Franklin Square) was the clear choice,” said Brook-Krasny. “I’ve worked alongside him for years and have seen firsthand his dedication to leading our Conference and delivering real results for working families. I congratulate Leader Ra on this well-deserved achievement and look forward to supporting his efforts to make our state a better place to live, work and raise a family.”
