NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY ANNOUNCES 2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION RATINGS
Brooklyn, NY – The New York State Conservative Party today released the 2025 Conservative Party Ratings of State Senate and Assembly members based on their votes across a broad array of bills central to the Party’s beliefs in areas including public safety, taxation, parental rights, property rights, protection of life, energy policy, and constitutional freedoms.
Overall in the Senate, Democrats averaged a 25.9% Conservative score, while Republicans averaged 91.6%. In the Assembly, Democrats averaged a 24% Conservative rating and Republicans averaged 93.5%. The Governor’s Mansion and both houses of the Legislature are currently controlled by Democrats.
Seven senators and nine assembly members had a perfect score. They are: Senators Rob Ortt (62SD); George Borrello (57 SD); Thomas O’Mara (58 SD); Peter Oberacker (51 SD); James Tedisco (44SD); Bill Weber (38 SD), and Alexis Weik (8 SD), and Assemblymembers Joe Angelino (121 AD); Paul Bologna (144 AD); Ari Brown (20 AD); Joe DeStefano (3 AD); Brian Manktelow (130 AD); Andrew Molitor (150 AD); Sam Pirozzolo (63 AD); Matt Slater (94 AD), and Mary Beth Walsh (112 AD).
This year’s rated legislation —17 two-house bills, three Senate only bills, and three Assembly only bills—included proposals on medically assisted suicide, gas-hookup bans, expanded abortion access, new judicial districts, budget legislation increasing state spending, green-energy mandates, tenant-rights expansions, and Second Amendment restrictions. The Party also included several strongly supported measures, such as extending 9/11 worker protections, expanding Purple Heart recognition, combatting the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, strengthening sexual-assault evidence tracking, and allowing crossbow use for hunting.
State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar said the 2025 ratings once again illustrate the significant philosophical divide in Albany:
“Democrats continue pushing New York in an extreme and unsustainable direction—soft-on-crime policies, anti-business regulations, expanded abortion funding, green mandates that raise energy costs, and attacks on parental and property rights. Meanwhile, most Republican lawmakers are fighting to restore a sense of law, order, affordability, and constitutional balance in our state.
“These ratings serve a simple but essential purpose: educating taxpayers,” Chairman Kassar continued. “New Yorkers deserve to know exactly how their representatives vote on the issues that matter most—public safety, economic stability, educational freedom, and respect for life. The results reveal once again how far Albany’s majority has drifted from the views of the state’s conservative and moderate voters.
“We urge every New Yorker to review the ratings and hold their legislators accountable,” Mr. Kassar said. “The state’s future depends on an informed public willing to confront the realities of Albany’s decision-making.”
