Asm. Albert A. Stirpe
District 127
Democrat
First elected 2009
Albert A. Stirpe has represented AD-127, a D+3 district in Central New York, since 2009, and has posted consistent but not dominant margins in recent general elections — 13.2 points over Timothy R. Kelly in 2024 and 11.2 points in 2022, though his 2020 race fell to a competitive 9.2-point margin and his 2014 contest was decided by just 5.4 points; the 2026 scenario model rates the seat Likely D at base, sliding to Lean D in a favorable Republican environment. The district is majority-white (86.6%), suburban and homeowner-heavy (76.7% homeownership), with a median household income of $97,621 and a tight registration split — 32.8% Democrat, 30.3% Republican, and 30.9% Independent — reflecting its marginal D+3 lean. In the 2025 session, Stirpe sponsored 77 bills, with his heaviest concentrations in Alcoholic Beverage Control (13 bills), Tax (9 bills), Economic Development (7 bills), and Cannabis (6 bills), alongside smaller clusters in Education, General Municipal, Insurance, and Public Health.AI

Retail wine and liquor purchases between licensees
The Assembly passed legislation amending the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to permit restaurants, bars, and caterers to purchase wine and liquor from retail licensees when facing supply shortages. Asm. Stirpe, the bill's sponsor, explained that the measure allows establishments to purchase up to six bottles from local liquor stores when they run out and cannot wait for regular wholesale deliveries, ensuring they can continue serving customers. Stirpe emphasized the bill creates no economic losers: wholesalers continue selling the same volume to retailers, Teamster drivers maintain regular shipments, and establishments avoid service disruptions. The bill takes effect 90 days after passage.

Thruway toll exemption for Central New York I-81 construction
The Assembly passed legislation providing a temporary toll exemption on select New York State Thruway exits in Central New York during the I-81 reconstruction project. Sponsor Asm. Magnarelli said the measure is necessary to divert local traffic from congested side roads and improve safety during the major construction undertaking in the Syracuse area. The bill allows the Thruway Authority to implement fees if needed to offset lost revenue, estimated at approximately $11 million annually based on 2016 permit data. Opponents, including Asm. Fitzpatrick and Asm. Reilly, warned the five-year temporary exemption will likely be extended, setting a precedent for other regions to demand similar benefits. Asm. Reilly drew parallels to Staten Island's annual fight to maintain Verrazano Bridge resident discounts. The bill passed with Asm. Glick voting in the affirmative after requesting to explain her vote.

An act to amend the Canal Law, in relation to establishing a stakeholder group to coordinate water release in the Oswego River Basin
The Assembly passed A07377, sponsored by Asm. Stirpe, establishing a stakeholder workgroup to coordinate water management in the Oswego River Basin. The bill implements recommendations from a 2022 Flood Mitigation Task Force and creates a multi-entity group to manage water flow across ten Finger Lakes and associated waterways. The measure had passed unanimously in 2024 but was vetoed by Governor Hochul over cost concerns. Stirpe characterized the costs as negligible, describing the group as all-volunteer and operating primarily via Zoom. During debate, Asm. Walsh raised concerns that Oswego County—which has significant shoreline in the basin—was omitted from the named stakeholder entities and requested that recommendations be shared with minority leadership. Stirpe indicated openness to considering amendments addressing these points.

An act to amend the Economic Development Law, in relation to extending the reporting deadline of the Advisory Panel on Employee-Owned Enterprises
The Assembly passed A09969, extending the reporting deadline for the Advisory Panel on Employee-Owned Enterprises. The panel was originally tasked in 2017 with delivering a report by 2018 but has failed to do so despite receiving multiple one-year extensions. Asm. Goodell supported the measure while criticizing the panel's lack of responsiveness to the Legislature, expressing hope that the extension will finally result in the long-overdue report.
