Common-sense leadership for the 142.
Pat Burke believes that common-sense leadership means delivering results, not headlines.
That’s why he is seeking re-election to the 142nd seat of the NYS Assembly. He is running to continue the fight for safer communities, stronger local governments, and economic growth families can feel.

Growing up in South Buffalo to a family of Irish immigrants, Pat is no stranger to hard work. Which is what first got him elected as a party outsider in 2014 to the Erie County Legislature. That’s where he banned microbead plastics, repealed the Sunday Blue Laws (woo), established a million-dollar fund to combat the opioid crisis, formed the Erie County Broadband Committee (free wifi), and wrote the Prevention of Emotional Neglect and Child Endangerment Act or the PENCE Bill to end harmful gay conversion therapy in Erie County.
In 2018 he moved his work to the NYS Assembly. Elected again as a party outsider, he has sponsored and passed legislation to eliminate single-use plastics on SUNY campuses, improve the NYS teachers’ retirement system, secure mental health leave for NYS Troopers after critical incidents, and is working to expand access to innovative mental health treatments like psilocybin-assisted therapy (P.A.T.) for our Veterans and First Responders.
His hard work was rewarded last session as Pat was asked to serve the Majority as Chair of the Committee on Cities— the first member outside of NYC to take the position. In his first year as Chair, he worked with the legislature and executive to increase unrestricted aid to towns and cities for the first time in over 20 years. This year, he tripled it.
