With legislative advocacy, municipal training & legal assistance, the New York Conference of Mayors (NYCOM) has served New York's cities & villages since 1910.
🇺🇸🎆One month from today, America will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. As we count down to this historic milestone, NYCOM is showcasing the stories and legacies of the communities that have helped shape New York State's rich history.
In the Village of Minoa, that legacy dates back to 1913, when 42 property-owning women voted to incorporate the Village, seven years before women gained the right to vote. This is a remarkable piece of history that Mayor Brazill wants people to remember and celebrate. #America250 #NYCOM #CitiesandVillages
Stay tuned for more videos leading up to July 4, 2026!

High auto insurance costs hurt every New Yorker. The Governor's proposals will reduce fraud, curb excessive litigation and ease the burden on local governments and taxpayers statewide. We urge the Legislature to include these reforms in the final adopted budget. @GovKathyHochul
As discussions around Tier 6 continue, we need to ensure reforms do not come at the expense of local governments, and local taxpayers aren't stuck footing the bill.

The only thing better than an increase in aid is a permanent increase in aid. Let's work together to find a permanent and predictable solution for our local governments. @GovKathyHochul@NYSA_Majority@NYSenate
NYCOM thanks @DonnaLupardo , @SenatorHinchey and @AsmSantabarbara for championing EMS reform across New York. The article below highlights the challenges EMS systems face in rural communities and why strengthening support for these services is so critical. #RescueEMS

Excited to be at the NYS Capitol with @NYMayors and @nytowns for the 2026 Municipal Day! Meeting with state lawmakers and advocating for local government with a united voice.
Our voices were heard! Thank you, @GovKathyHochul, for recognizing the challenges we face and proposing an additional $100 million in aid to local governments. When our cities and villages rise, all of New York rises with them.

Commentary: A better way for New York to invest in water and sewer infrastructure https://t.co/5nqetx2BNB via @TimesUnion
Last night, we testified at the Joint Legislative Budget Hearing on Local Governments to emphasize the importance of strengthening state investment in our cities and villages through programs like AIM, CHIPS and SWAP. Stable, predictable funding through these programs ensures mayors have the resources they need to deliver essential services, invest in critical infrastructure and protect quality of life for their residents.
I had the great opportunity to meet the newly elected Mayor of Albany Mayor Dr. Dorcey Applyrs. I look forward working together as the President of NYCOM.

NYCOM and our members applaud Governor Hochul for signing this legislation and for recognizing the urgent need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to bolstering emergency medical services across New York State. This action represents a critical step toward identifying systemic challenges, improving coordination and creating a sustainable future for EMS. We thank Assemblymember Steve Otis and Senator Shelley Mayer for their leadership and their commitment to securing a long-term strategy that will better equip municipalities to deliver reliable, life-saving care to their residents. @SteveOtis91@ShelleyBMayer
Thank you to @DonnaLupardo for championing EMS reforms, including her bill that would give municipalities the flexibility they need to fund these critical services. NYCOM remains hopeful the Governor will act to #RescueEMS.
