STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Republicans in the New York Senate announced Tuesday that State Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-South Shore) would be named their deputy leader for the session set to begin next month.
Lanza, the South Shore’s state senator since 2007, cruised to an unopposed victory in his November election. He’s been a vocal critic of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s approach to COVID-19 shutdowns, and said he looks forward to joining his fellow Senate Republicans to advance their agenda.
