Will Barclay, Assembly Minority Leader in the New York State Assembly, used his social media platform to extend New Year’s greetings and share priorities for 2026. His posts addressed both personal well-wishes and policy intentions as the new year began.
On January 1, 2026, Barclay posted: “Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with good health, prosperity and peace for you and your family.”
Later that day, he reiterated his message with another post: “Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! The start of 2026 brings a renewed sense of optimism and new opportunities for the coming year.”
The following day, on January 2, Barclay shifted focus to legislative matters: “Assembly Minority Conference priorities for the new year reflect the needs and concerns of New Yorkers. We are ushering in 2026 with renewed optimism and a focus on making New York a better place to live.”
Barclay leads the Assembly Minority Conference in Albany. As minority leader, he often articulates positions intended to address statewide issues through legislation that reflects constituent concerns.
