On April 1, 2026, Lanza announced a new program for small businesses: “The Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the National Grid Foundation, is launching a new initiative to support small businesses facing increased natural gas expenses. This will exclusively serve Staten Island small businesses. The deadline is April 30, 2026.”

Later that day, he extended holiday greetings: “To everyone celebrating, wishing you a blessed and happy Passover. Chag Sameach!” on April 1, 2026.

On April 2, 2026, Lanza promoted a public safety initiative: “For a FREE Smoke Alarm Installation appointment, please call 1-877-733-2767 (Option 5) or Scan the QR Code to visit: https://t.co/Cq9fx3dr67 @redcrossny”.

Lanza has advocated for various community improvements such as school upgrades and park expansions on Staten Island (official website). He aligns with the Republican and Conservative parties and has held leadership roles including Senate Deputy Minority Leader while serving on several committees such as Rules and Judiciary. His legislative record includes efforts to protect against domestic violence and strengthen crime victim rights.
