The SAR Government Affairs Committee recently asked Senator Ashby REALTOR® Champion questions, below are his responses and comments.

-Jake DOES NOT support statewide "Good Cause" eviction.

“I voted against Good Cause Eviction in the State Budget and believe this is an issue that we will be dealing with and fixing for years to come. “

-Jake SUPPORTS a state program to assist first-time homebuyers in New York State.

“NY should be offering more tools to homebuyers and I support this legislation.”

-Jake WOULD support the anti-discrimination bill and believes NYS should pass additional laws to protect against housing discrimination within the cooperative housing market.

“I think this legislation will greatly open the housing market through fairness and efficiency.”

-Jake SUPPORTS passage of a technical amendment to lift telemarketing restrictions on real estate licensees during a state of emergency.

“Phone calls are an important part of real estate agent outreach.”

-Jake thinks NY's energy transition is happening too quickly which saddles homeowners and businesses with increasing costs. 

“We need to realize that we cannot cripple our economy while neighboring states are cheaper to live and do business.”

-Jake DOES NOT support additional increases to real estate transaction taxes in NYS.

“New York is overtaxed in ten thousand ways, and we do not need more taxes on an already expensive industry like real estate.”

As the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs, Senator Ashby has voted to expand counseling, job training and immigration services for veterans and their families.
