“For the last four years, State Senator Brian Benjamin has been a strong partner in Albany — especially on delivering budgets that invested in the future of New York’s infrastructure,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “The New York Building Congress applauds Governor Hochul for selecting him as her lieutenant. We are ready to work with and support Lieutenant Governor Benjamin in this role, in which he will undoubtedly be a vital voice in building New York back better after the devastation of COVID-19. He will bring experience, vision and a collaborative spirit that we need at this moment. We are excited to see everything Governor Hochul and Lieutenant Governor Benjamin will do moving forward.”
