It is with both heartfelt congratulations and a heavy heart that SDWNY thanks former NYS Assemblymember Sam Hoyt for his career of service, upon his recent resignation from the NYS Assembly. Sam has been the fiercest longtime advocate the LGBTQ community has had in WNY. This year, we celebrated the passage of the Marriage Equality Act, and it was in such a large part due to the tireless advocacy of Assemblymember Hoyt throughout the years. Like his father the late Assemblymember William Hoyt was before him, Sam Hoyt has represented every woman, man and child in his district to the absolute best of his ability.
“Throughout the years, Sam Hoyt has been an intergral part of the Stonewall Democrats of Western New York,” said Bryan Ball, Stonewall Democrats of Western New York President. “Together, we worked on advocacy for marriage equality, transgender civil rights and all LGBTQ civil rights. Along with his incredible staff and team, we have worked side by side to advance pro-equality legislation, and elect incredible pro-equality, progressive officials. We are proud to have been a part of the progressive vision and legacy Sam Hoyt lived for the 144th Assembly district for the past nearly twenty years.”
Stonewall Democrats of Western New York wishes former Assemblymember Hoyt all the best in his new endeavor with Governor Cuomo’s administration in the Empire State Development Corporation.
Stonewall Democrats of Western New York is the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and queer Democratic voice in western New York. Our mission is to advocate for the LGBTQ community within the WNY area government and the Democratic Party.
