Pheffer Amato Named ‘Legislator of the Year’ by NYS Police

Last week, Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato was honored with the distinction of being named “Legislator of the Year” by the Police Benevolent Association of the New York State Troopers (NYSTPBA), the union that represents the State Police. The union unanimously voted to give the Assemblywoman the award and cited her as “a staunch advocate for New York State Troopers and all law enforcement.”

“At the Thirteenth Annual New York State Trooper PBA Awards Dinner, we were proud to present the Assemblywoman with this award due to her courage, friendship, and dedication to our issues,” NYSTPBA President Charles W. Murphy said. “Assemblywoman Pheffer Amato has been a staunch advocate for the needs of the New York State law enforcement community and is truly unafraid to support the PBA at all times! She has made a difference, and we applaud her dedication to public safety and bringing new resources to veterans and 9/11 first responders.”

“It’s an honor to be recognized by the men and women who protect and serve our State each and every day. You are all heroes, and I thank you for your service,” Pheffer Amato told them. “It’s my privilege to make sure you and your families are supported, to ensure that you have the proper resources to keep our State safe, and to safeguard your pensions. I’m so proud to be your partner and look forward to continuing our work together.”
