The leadership vote was held at the Capitol in Albany in advance of the upcoming 2025 legislative session. Barclay represents the 120th Assembly District, which includes Oswego County as well as parts of Jefferson and Cayuga counties.
“I am deeply thankful to the members of this Conference for the trust and confidence they’ve shown in me. I work alongside extremely hardworking men and women, which now includes six new members who bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm to our team. To receive their vote is an honor and a privilege,” Barclay said in a statement. “We are eager to begin the 2025 Legislative Session and will use every day as an opportunity to better the lives of the people in our great state. We will continue our efforts to make New York safer, more affordable and a place where every family will choose to build their future.”
