Rozic to chair State-Federal Relations committee
BY CARLOTTA MOHAMED
State Assemblywoman
Nily Rozic announced her
new role Wednesday as chair
of the State Assembly’s State-
Federal Relations.
The committee will address
the impact of the federal
government on New Yorkers.
It will also focus on New
York’s ability to shape national
trends and policy.
“In the absence of real leadership
from Washington DC
and, specifically, this administration,
the State Assembly
has made many strides to
pass legislation and advance
policies that protect the rights
and ensure the dignity of all
New Yorkers,” said Rozic.
Rozic looks forward to
advocating for policies
to help working families;
make healthcare affordable
while protecting those with
pre-existing conditions; address
student debt; invest
in mass transit and infrastructure;
and protecting
immigrants, voting rights
and the environment.
“Assemblywoman Nily

Rozic is a dedicated public
servant who looks out for
the people of Queens and for
families across New York
State,” said Speaker Carl
Heastie. “Over the last two
years, we have seen the federal
administration balance
tax cuts for wealthy donors
on the backs of our middle
class families, and attempt
to roll back advances on everything
from affordable
healthcare to immigrants’
rights. I know we can count
on Assemblywoman Rozic to
stand up and protect the interests
and rights of all New
Yorkers in her new role.”
U.S. Rep. Grace Meng
congratulated Rozic on her
appointment.
“Assemblywoman Rozic
will work tirelessly in this
position and she’ll play a critical
role in determining the
impact that federal initiatives
will have on New York; information
that will be crucial for
future legislation and policies
here in our state. I look forward
to working with her in
this capacity,” said Meng.
“Nily has shown time and
again that she is willing to
put in the long hours, the hard
work and her whole heart on
behalf of New Yorkers,” said
state Sen. Charles Schumer. “I
look forward to continuing to
work with her on advancing an
agenda that benefits New York
families, seniors and students.”
Rozic represents the communities
of Flushing, Queensboro
Hill, Hillcrest, Fresh
Meadows, Oakland Gardens,
Bayside, and Douglaston.
Upon her election in 2012,
Rozic became the youngest
woman in the state legislature
and the first woman ever to
represent the 25th District.
She serves on the Assembly’s
Ways & Means; Labor; Environmental
Conservation;
Correction; and Corporations,
Authorities and Commissions
Committees.
