Senator Andrew Lanza, who represents Staten Island’s 24th District and serves as Senate Deputy Minority Leader, used his social media platform on March 10, 2026, to address rising energy costs and advocate for STEM opportunities for young women.

In a post published at 00:13 UTC, Lanza encouraged public engagement regarding utility expenses: “Share this if you are tired of sky-high bills. We are in this fight together.” On the same date, he directed a call to action toward Governor Kathy Hochul about energy policy: “Now we need Gov. Hochul to act. If she refuses to support the repeal, energy bills will continue to climb. Call Governor Hochul’s office at (518) 474-8390 or visit https://t.co/DperUfO2pV and tell her: Repeal the Gov. Hochul climate tax now before it breaks NY families.”

Later that day at 13:00 UTC, Lanza highlighted an initiative focused on education and gender equity: “March is Expanding Girls’ Horizons in STEM Month. We use this month to develop and encourage young women’s interest in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. https://t.co/aSAuhlieWo”

Lanza has advocated for community improvements such as school upgrades and park expansions on Staten Island (official website). He aligns with the Republican and Conservative parties (official website) and has served on committees including Rules, Judiciary, Ethics and Internal Governance, and Cities 1 (official website). His legislative work also includes efforts to protect against domestic violence and strengthen crime victim rights (official website).
