New York State Senator Brad Hoylman (Democrat/Working Families) has an immediate opening for a Press Secretary based in his Manhattan District Office.
-- As a member of New York's new Democratic majority in the State Senate and the Chairman of the New York State Senate's Judiciary Committee, Senator Hoylman is a progressive leader in state politics. He is also the only openly gay legislator in the State Senate. This year, the Senate passed several of his major pieces of legislation, including bills enabling Congress to request President Trump's New York State taxes, banning LGBTQ conversion therapy, adding protections for transgender New Yorkers into state law, ending non-medical exemptions for vaccination, and lifting the statute of limitations for survivors of child sexual abuse to hold their abusers accountable. Senator Hoylman is also the lead sponsor of bills to keep ICE out of courtrooms, institute a tax on second homes owned by the ultra-rich, reform New York's parole system, modernize New York's surrogacy laws, and much more. There's a lot more work to do, and we need your help to tell the story and make it happen.
