In his Know Your Electeds interview, New York State Senator Jamaal T. Bailey (D-36) says success for his district means "continuing to prosper."

Bailey's favorite part of being a legislator it the ability to "impact change on a real level." Bailey says his biggest accomplishment so far has been reforming the state's "antiquated" criminal justice laws.

Bailey has served as a member of the New York Senate since 2017. If he wasn't in public service, he says he hopes he'd be "in the front office of the New York Knicks. Hopefully the General Manager."
