STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The 2025 Environmental Scorecard shows where Staten Island elected officials in the New York State Legislature landed in their voting records to aid in the fight against climate change.
Our representatives from North Shore to South Shore are: Democratic Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton; Republican Sen. Andrew Lanza; Democratic Assemblymember Charles D. Fall; Republican Assemblymember Michael Reilly; Republican Assemblymember Sam Pirozzolo; and Republican Assemblymember Michael Tannousis.
The Results
Scarcella-Spanton led the way among all the elected officials graded on Staten Island with a final score of 77%. She voted against three of 13 Senate bills.
“The community I represent always guides my votes on environmental policy. With much of Senate District 23 along the coastline, strengthening our shorelines is my main priority and essential to protecting our homes and infrastructure from natural disasters,” Scarcella-Spanton said. “As we continue building a greener New York, we must also ensure these investments create good-paying union jobs that strengthen our workforce and help preserve Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn for generations to come.”
