Other facts

Steve resides in Mohegan Lake with his wife, Nicole, and their four daughters, and has lived in the 40th Senate District for almost 20 years. He spent two years in Torino, Italy and speaks fluent Italian. He began competing in triathlons after turning 50, and likes to swim, bike and run. Steve brings the same level of devotion to Albany that he gives to his practice. “I have always been interested in the highest quality medicine, and most importantly, the highest quality of care for my clients,” he said, “And that’s what I promise for New York. I will continue to give that same level of care, concern and compassion that I’ve been practicing in my business for 25 years to the people of New York State.” As a freshman citizen-legislator, Steve Katz sought public office to ensure that the real views of Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester counties are being represented in Albany. Since his election to the NYS Assembly in 2010, Steve has authored new statewide legislation that targets the high incidences of voter fraud in our state. This new legislation, Assembly Bill 9041, requires that all voters bring with them and present at the polls their government-issued photo identification. Currently, 31 states require all voters to show ID before voting. In the NY Assembly Steve Katz is a member of the: Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection Committee on Economic Development, Job Creation, Commerce and Industry Committee on Higher Education Committee on Housing Committee on Mental Health - Ranking Member
