Will Barclay, a member of the New York State Assembly, has used his social media platform to advocate for policy priorities and regional development as the 2026 legislative session begins. In a series of posts in early January 2026, Barclay outlined his support for advanced nuclear energy facilities in Oswego County and introduced his conference’s legislative agenda.
On January 5, 2026, Barclay posted: “Repeatedly championed Oswego County as the excellent choice to build New York’s new advanced nuclear energy facility
The region is well-positioned with existing infrastructure and an experienced, skilled workforce

Two days later, on January 7, 2026, he highlighted his party’s policy focus for the year: “Our conference’s policy agenda, the “Fight For New York,” outlines how the state can remove existing barriers to the growth and opportunities New Yorkers deserve in 2026.
We remain committed to policies that deliver on affordability, public safety and a brighter future for all. https://t.co/ngwbDxlgVshttps://t.co/KUGC06k26b“
Later that same day, Barclay marked the start of the legislative session with another message: “Opening day of the 2026 Legislative Session and we are ready to fight for New York https://t.co/JY9f5Ufpwc”
Barclay’s promotion of Oswego County reflects ongoing discussions about energy infrastructure in New York. The region already hosts multiple nuclear power plants and has a workforce experienced in this sector. These factors have been cited by local leaders as advantages in attracting further investment in advanced nuclear technology.
The “Fight For New York” policy agenda referenced by Barclay represents his conference’s legislative goals for the coming year. It emphasizes removing regulatory barriers and advancing initiatives aimed at improving affordability and public safety across the state.
As lawmakers convene for the new session, these priorities will likely shape debates over economic development and public policy in New York.
