Republican Senator Anthony Palumbo was one out of two lawmakers that made the trek to Albany for the hearing.

When you re not including all of us at the table, like women, it means something, Velazquez told Gothamist/NYC, adding that women lawmakers can offer a different perspective when it comes to discussing issues such as sexual harassment, which can help craft tougher laws against it.
