Voting & Elections

Assemblyman Stern also believes that reducing gun violence and protecting public safety is one of the great moral issues of our time. He is the proud co-sponsor of New York’s “Red Flag Law” which helps keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them and allows immediate intervention when individuals demonstrate dangerous or violent behavior that poses a risk to public safety.

Steve created New York State’s first Silver Alert system, which – like an Amber Alert – assists in the safe return of our loved ones with Alzheimer’s Disease and other cognitive disorders. It has since been expanded by the Suffolk County Police Department to include those with special needs, such as autism, developmental disabilities and severe mental illness.
