Proposed section
I propose to add a section entitled "State Senate" to this page, and to include the following content:


 * Felder was elected to the New York State Senate in District 17 in 2012. Following his election to the Senate, Felder announced that despite being elected as a Democrat, he intended to caucus with the Republicans. Felder's decision to caucus with Senate Republicans, along with his stated willingness to return to the Senate Democratic Conference if doing so would benefit his district, has attracted attention and speculation during his Senate tenure.


 * During his Senate tenure, "Felder was the only no-vote on the $15 minimum wage. He cast pivotal votes killing the immigration-friendly DREAM Act as well as shooting down the pro-abortion Women’s Equality Act. He called the elimination of stop-and-frisk policing a mistake. He helped torpedo 5-cent plastic bag fees and won himself the 2016 'Oil Slick Award' from the advocacy group EPL/Environmental Advocates. Felder also supported pro-Israel policies like anti-BDS legislation and Iran divestment." On the final day of the 2013 legislative session, Felder voted against a hostile amendment that would have attached a pro-choice bill to an unrelated piece of legislation.


 * Felder was reelected to the Senate in 2014 and 2016. In the latter election, he ran on the Democratic, Republican and Conservative lines.


 * In 2017, "[top] lawmakers accused [Felder] of essentially holding the $168 billion budget hostage until the state agreed not to interfere with the curriculum at the private Jewish schools known as yeshivas."

 * I added to your comment to freeze the refs in place for the discussion (you can also just use external or even bare URL links, but refs make Talk pages harder to follow as they'll always automatically go to the bottom, below newer comments.
 * Anyway, yes, I support it. It's been widely covered in the news even before the IDC was in the papers everyday, it's a central part of who he is as a politician. JesseRafe (talk) 21:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your input, JesseRafe. Seeing no objection, I intend to add the section. SunCrow (talk) 02:30, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Biased
