Assembly Member Stacey Pheffer Amato announced on Monday her decision not to seek re-election in 2026. She was first elected to represent South Queens and the Rockaway Peninsula in Albany in 2016 in a seat previously held by her mother for nearly a quarter of a century, Queens County Clerk Audrey I. Pheffer.

“I love being in public service and representing the people of the 23rd Assembly District has been the honor of a lifetime,” Pheffer Amato said. “My team and I have built a seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year operation to make sure this district is well served, and through that, I have had the joy of meeting with and delivering for thousands of our neighbors when they need help. But after 10 years in this position, it is time to move on and serve my community in other capacities.”
